On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceAGS000GW
CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION

Check installation condition of steering gear assembly, front suspension, axle and steering column.

Check if movement exists when steering wheel is moved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.

Check if the mounting bolts for steering gear assembly are loose
or not. Refer to PS-19, "
POWER STEERING GEAR AND LINK-
AGE" .
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Set tires to the straight ahead, start engine, then turn steering wheel to the left and right lightly, and mea-
sure steering wheel movement on the outer circumference when steering wheel is turned up to the point
where tires start moving.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION ON STEERING WHEEL
Check neutral position on steering wheel after confirming that front wheel alignment is correct. Refer to FSU-
6, "Wheel Alignment Inspection" .
1. Set vehicle to the straight direction, check if steering wheel is in the neutral position.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remove steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position cannot adjust in the two teeth of steering gear assembly, loosen outer socket lock nuts of steering outer sockets, then adjust outer socket by the same amount in the opposite direction.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level and dry surface, set parking brake.
2. Remove driver air bag module from steering wheel. Refer to SRS-35, "
DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE" .
3. Start engine at idle, make steering fluid reach to normal operat- ing temperature [50 to 80 °C (122 to 176 °F)], then check steering
wheel turning torque with pre-load gauge (SST).
4. If steering wheel turning force is out of the specification, check relief hydraulic pressure of oil pump. Refer to PS-31, "
POWER
STEERING OIL PUMP" .

"Wheel Alignment Inspection" .

After adjusting wheel alignment, adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-6, "Adjust-
ment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check tilt and telescopic mechanism operating range “L1 ”, “L2 ”
as shown in the figure.

Check if steering wheel operation can turn to the end of the left
and right smoothly. Steering column length “L”: 572 mm (22.52 in)
Turning torque : 0 − 0.2 N·m (0 − 0.021 kg-m, 0 − 1 in-lb)

Boot
Check boot for cracks and deformation. Replace it, if necessary.
Rack
Check rack for damage and wear. Replace it, if necessary.
Sub-Gear Assembly

Check pinion gear for damage and wear. Replace it, if necessary.

Check bearing while rotating it. Replace bearing if bearing ball race was dented, worn, or damaged.
Gear Housing Assembly
Check gear housing assembly for damage and scratches (inner wall). Replace it, if necessary.
Outer Socket and Inner Socket
Swing Torque

Hook a spring balance at the point shown in the figure. Confirm
if the reading is within the specification. When ball stud and
inner socket start moving the measured value must be within the
specification. If the reading is outside the specification, replace
socket.
Rotating Torque

a. To avoid damaging inner rack oil seal, wrap an OHP sheet
[approximately. 70 mm (2.76 in) × 100 mm (3.94 in) around rack
tooth. Place oil seal on sheet. Then, pull oil seal along with OHP
sheet until they pass the toothed section of rack, then remove it.
b. Insert rack oil seal (inner) to piston (rack Teflon ring) position and push retainer to adjust screw side with fingers lightly, and
then make rack move in gear housing assembly, install rack oil
seal (inner) to fit with gear housing assembly.
c. When installing outer rack oil seal, cover the end of rack with an OHP sheet [70 mm (2.76 in) × 100 mm (3.94 in)]. It will avoid
damaging rack oil seal. Then place oil seal on sheet. Pull rack oil
seal along with OHP sheet until they pass rack end. Then
remove OHP sheet.
d. Install end cover assembly to rack, move it to gear housing assembly.
5. Using a 45 mm (1.77 in) open head (suitable tool), tighten end cover assembly at the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not damage rack surface. If it is damaged, it may cause
oil leaks. Replace rack assembly.
6. After tightening end cover assembly, caulk cylinder at one point as shown in the figure using a punch. This will prevent end cover
from getting loose.
7. Install sub-gear assembly to gear housing assembly. CAUTION:
In order to protect oil seal from any damage, insert sub-
gear assembly out straightly.
8. Apply Genuine Nissan PSF or equivalent to O-ring. Install O-ring to rear cover.
NOTE:
Do not reuse O-ring.
