factory adjustments will change. These

changes in adjustment do not neces-

sarily affect the satisfactory operation

of the steering gear assembly, and

therefore ordinarily do not require

readjustment unless there is excessive

lash or other malfunctioning.

ADJUSTMENT IN

The only adjustment which can be

performed is the total over center

position load, to eliminate excessive

lash between the sector and rack

teeth.

1.
Disconnect the pitman arm from

the sector shaft.

2.
Disconnect the fluid return line

at the reservoir, at the same time cap

the reservoir return line pipe.

MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS

In most cases, complete disassembly

of the power steering gear will not be

necessary. It is suggested that only

those assemblies that are faulty be dis-

assembled. Disassembly and reassem-

bly of the unit and the subassemblies

must be made on a clean workbench.

As in repairing any hydraulically op-

erated unit, cleanliness is of utmost

importance. Therefore, the bench,
tools,
and parts must be kept clean at

all times. Thoroughly clean the exter-

ior of the unit with a suitable solvent

and when necessary, drain as much of

the hydraulic oil as possible. Handle

all parts very carefully to avoid nicks,

burrs,
scratches and dirt, which could

make the parts unfit for use. Do not

clean, wash or soak seals in cleaning

solvent.
VALVE CENTERING

SHIM REPLACEMENT

1.
Hold the steering gear over a

drain pan in an inverted position and

cycle the input shaft several times to

drain the remaining fluid from the

gear.

2.
Mount the gear in a soft-jawed

vise.procarmanuals.com

DESCRIPTION

The Rotary Valve Safety power

steering gear operates entirely on dis-

placing fluid to provide hydraulic fluid

pressure assists only when turning. As

the entire gear assembly is always full

of fluid, all internal components of the

gear are immersed in fluid making

periodic lubrication unnecessary. In

addition, this fluid acts as a cushion
to absorb road shocks that may be

transmitted to the driver. All fluid

passages are internal except the pres-

sure and return hoses between the

gear and pump.

The rotary valve provides a smooth

transmission through the driving range

of steering wheel effort. A torsion bar

transmits the road feel to the driver.
Response of the steering gear to effort

applied to the steering wheel has been

greatly increased.

The rack-piston nut is one piece and

is geared to the sector shaft. Lash be-

tween the sector shaft and rack-piston

nut is maintained by an adjusting

screw which is retained in the end o\'

the shaft uear (Eiiz.l).

IN-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

During the breaking in period of

the vehicle, it is probable that some

of the factory adjustments will change.

These changes in adjustment do not

necessarily affect the satisfactory op-

eration of the steering gear assembly

and ordinarily do not require re-ad-

justment unless there is excessive lash

or other malfunctioning. The only ad-

justment that should be performed in

the vehicle is the total over center

position load (mesh load) to eliminate

excessive lash between the sector shaft

and rack teeth.

MESH LOAD ADJUSTMENT

1.
Disconnect the Pitman arm from
the sector shaft and remove the steer-

ing wheel hub.

2.
Disconnect the fluid return line

at the reservoir; at the same time cap

the reservoir return line pipe.

3.
Place the end of the return line

in a clean container and cycle the

steering wheel in both directions as

required, to discharge the fluid from

the gear.

4.
Turn the gear 1/2 turn off cen-

ter (either direction). Using a 24 in-

lb torque wrench on the steering wheel

nut, determine the torque required to

rotate the shaft slowly through a 20

degree arc.

5.
Turn the sear back to center and
repeating the method of reading tor-

que as in Step 4, above, loosen the

adjuster lock nut, turn the screw in-

ward with a 7/32-inch Allen wrench

until the reading is equal to 6 in-lbs

in excess of Step 4 above, and retigh-

ten the lock nut while holding the

screw in place.

6. Recheck the readings and re-

place the Pitman arm and the steering

wheel hub.

7.
Connect the fluid return line to

the reservoir and fill the reservoir

with C1AZ-I9582-A Fluid to the

proper level.

DESCRIPTION

The roller-type hydraulic pump,

driven by the crankshaft, draws auto-

matic transmission fluid down the res-

ervoir and provides fluid pressure for

the system. Steering gear lubrication
is also provided by the same fluid

from the reservoir. Within the pump

itself is a flow-control and pressure-

relief valve which governs the pres-
sures within the steering system ac-

cording to the varying conditions of

operation. After fluid has passed from

the gear, it returns to the reservoir.

stalled in the cover and the housing

with Tool 3583-J, which consists of a

driver and an adapter. The procedure

is as follows:

a. Support the cover on wood

blocks (Fig. 2) to provide tool clear-

ance.
Use clean blocks that will not

nick or damage the inner face of the

cover.
b.
Start the seal (metal shell up-

ward) square!y into the bore with fin-

ger pressure. Place the adapter on the

driver with the square corner of the

FIG. 2—Preparation for Installing

Rotor Shaft Seals

adapter toward the seal (Fig. 2). Drive

the seal into the cover, as shown in

Fig. 3, until it bottoms.

Driving the seal beyond this point

can damage it. Install the seal in the

pump housing in the same manner.

3.
Install the rotor shaft in the

FIG. 3—Installing Rotor

Shaft Seals
cover as shown in Fig. 4 to prevent

damage to the seal.

4.
Install the dowel pins in the

cover. Place the rotor drive key in the

shaft. Install the rotor on the shaft

with the drive key groove aligned with

the key and the counterbored side of

the rotor toward the cover so that it

goes over the snap ring.

5.
Place the cam ring on the dowel

pins with the chamfered edge upward

(Fig. 5). Place the rollers in the rotor.

6. Place the pressure plate on the

dowel pins. Install and tighten the

screws to 20 in-lbs torque. Install the

O-ring on the pressure plate hub. In-

stall O-rings in the groove at the fluid

bypass hole and around the cam ring

(Fig. 6).

7.
Place the tool shown in Fig. 6 in

the rotor shaft to prevent damage to

the oil seal, then install the housing on

the cover. Install and torque the cap

screws to 15-20 ft-lbs.

FIG. 3—Limited-Slip Differential Check

Using
a
torque wrench
of at
least

200 ft-lbs capacity, rotate
the
axle

shaft.
Be
sure that
the
transmission
is

in neutral,
one
rear wheel
is on the

floor,
and the
other rear wheel
is

raised
off the
floor.
The
torque
re-

quired
to
continuously rotate
the
shaft

should
be at
least
75
ft-lbs
or 40
ft-lbs

(Traction-Lok).
The
initial breakaway

torque
may
be
higher than
the
contin-

uous turning torque,
but
this
is nor-

mal.
The
axle shaft should turn with

^ven pressure throughout
the
check

without slipping
or
binding.

If
the
torque reading
is
less than

specified, check
the
differential
for

improper assembly.

A vehicle equipped with
a
limited-

slip differential will always have both

wheels driving.
If,
while
the
vehicle
is

being serviced, only
one
wheel
is

raised
off the
floor
and the
rear axle

is driven
by the
engine,
the
wheel
on

the floor will drive
the
vehicle
off the

stand
or
jack.

GEAR TOOTH CONTACT

PATTERN CHECK

When rolling
a
tooth pattern,
use

the special compound (tube) packed

with each service ring gear
and
pinion

set.

Paint
all
gear teeth
and
roll
a pat-

tern
as
described
in
Section
3.
After

diagnosing
the
tooth pattern
as ex-

plained here, make
the
appropriate

adjustments
as
outlined
in
Section
2.

In making
a
final gear tooth
con-

tact pattern check,
it is
necessary
to

recognize
the
fact that there
are
three

different types
of
gear sets, hunting,

non-hunting
and
partial non-hunting.

Each type
is
determined
by the num-
ber
of
teeth
in the
gears.
The non-

hunting
and
partial non-hunting types

can
be
identified
by the
paint timing

marks
on the
pinion
and
ring gear

teeth. (Part 4-2,
Fig. 51).
See
Part
4-5

for complete identification specifica-

tions.

ACCEPTABLE TOOTH

PATTERNS (ALL AXLES)

Figure
4
shows acceptable tooth

patterns
for all
axles.
Any
combina-

tion
of
drive
and
coast patterns will
be

acceptable.

In general, desirable tooth patterns

should have
the
following character-

istics:

1.
The
drive pattern should
be
fair-

ly well centered
on the
tooth.

2.
The
coast pattern should
be
fair-

ly well centered
on the
tooth.

3.
Some clearance between
the pat-

tern
and the top of the
tooth
is
desir-

able.

4.
There should
be no
hard lines

where
the
pressure
is
high.

The individual gear
set
need
not

conform exactly
to the
ideal pattern

to
be
acceptable.

Any combination
of
drive
and
coast

patterns shown
in Fig. 4 are
accep-

table.

Hunting Gear
Set

In
a
hunting-type gear
set, any one

pinion gear tooth comes into contact

with
all
ring gear teeth.
In
this type,

several revolutions
of
the
ring gear
are

required
to
make
all
possible gear

combinations.
Any combination
of
drive
and
coast

patterns shown
in
Fig.
4
will
be
acceep-

table.

Non-Hunting Gear
Set

In
a
non-hunting type gear
set, any

one pinion gear tooth comes into
con-

tact with only
a few
ring gear teeth.

In this type, only
one
revolution
of
the

ring gear
is
required
to
make
all
poss-

ible tooth contact combinations.
Any

combination
of
drive
and
coast
pat-

terns shown
in Fig. 4
will
be
accept-

able.

Partial Non-Hunting

Gear
Set

In
a
partial non-hunting type gear

set,
any one
pinion tooth comes into

contact with only part
of
the
ring gear

teeth,
but
more than
one
revolution
of

the ring gear
is
required
to
make
all

possible gear tooth combinations.
Any

combination
of
drive
and
coast
pat-

terns shown
in Fig. 4
will
be
accept-

able.

SHIM
AND
BACKLASH

CHANGES

Since each gear
set
rolls
a
charac-

teristic pattern,
the
patterns shown
in

Fig.
4 are
considered acceptable
and

should
be
used
as a
guide.
The
drive

pattern
is
rolled
on the
convex side
of

the tooth,
and the
coast pattern
is

rolled
on the
concave side.

The movement
of
tooth contact
pat-

terns with changes
in
shimming
can
be

summarized
as
follows:

Removable Carrier Type Axle

1.
Thicker shim with
the
backlash

set
to
specifications moves
the
pinion

further from
the
ring gear:

2.
Thinner shim with
the
backlash

set
to
specifications moves
the
pinion

closer
to the
ring gear:

If
the
patterns
are not
correct,

make
the
changes
as
indicated.
The

pinion need
not be
disassembled
to

change
a
shim.
All
that
is
required
is

to remove
the
pinion, bearing,
and re-

tainer assembly
and
install
a
different

shim. When reinstalling
the
pinion

and retainer assembly
of a
non-
hunt-

ing
or
partial non-hunting gear
set, be

sure that
the
marked tooth
on the pi-

nion indexes between
the
marked teeth

on
the
ring gear
(Fig.
51,
Part
4-2).
