Steering Gearbox Removal and Installation (cont’d)
34. Install the steering wheel (see page 17-8).
35. With the tires raised off the ground (vehicle on a
lift), check for the following symptoms by turning
the steering wheel fully to the right and left several
times.
Rubbing sound
coming from the
lower steering
column area. Steering column joint
is contacting the cover.
Grating sound from
the lower steering
column area, or a
rough feeling during
steering. Poor engagement of
the pinion shaft
serrations.
Noise from around
the steering wheel
during steering. Poor engagement of
the SRS cable reel with
the steering wheel, or a
damaged cable reel.
36. Install the air cleaner housing (see page 11- 345).
37. Install the under cowl panel and cowl cover (see page 20-163). 38. Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure
(see page 22-68), and do these tasks:
 Turn the ignition switch to ON (II) and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds
and then goes off.
 Make sure the horn and turn signal switches work properly.
 Make sure the steering wheel switches work properly.
39. After installation, do the following checks:  Check the steering wheel spoke angle. If steeringspoke angles to the right and left are not equal
(steering wheel and rack are not centered),
correct the engagement of the joint/pinion shaft
splines.
 Set the steering column to the center tilt position, and to the center telescopic position, then check
the wheel alignment and adjust (see page 18-5).
 Make sure the steering wheel spokes are centered.
 Start the engine, and let it idle. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times. Check that
the EPS indicator does not come on.
 Do the memorizing for the torque sensor neutral position (see page 17-22).

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then turn on thewindshield wipers. Turn the ignition switch to
LOCK (0) when the wipers are near the A-pillars.
2. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations (see page
1-11).
3. Remove the front wheel.
4. Remove the wheel speed sensor harness clip (A) and the brake hose bracket (B) from the damper. Do
not disconnect the wheel speed sensor connector.
5. Remove the damper pinch bolts (A) and the self- locking nuts (B) from the damper.
NOTE: Do not allow the knuckle to rotate too far
outward. This may allow the driveshaft inboard
joint come apart. 6. Remove the service cap (A) and the lid (B).
7. Remove the three flange nuts (C) from top of the
damper.
8. Remove the damper/spring (A). NOTE: The left and right damper springs are different. Mark the springs L and R before you continue.
