INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque, refer to PS-17, "COMPONENTS" .

When installing lower shaft to steering gear assembly, follow the procedure listed below.
–Set rack of steering gear in the neutral position.
NOTE:
To get the neutral position of rack, turn pinion assembly and measure the distance of inner socket, and
then measure the intermediate position of the distance.
–Align rear cover cap projection (A) with the marking position (B)
of gear housing assembly.
–Install slit part of lower shaft (C) aligning with the projection (A)
of rear cover cap (1). Make sure that the slit part of lower shaft
(C) is aligned with both the projection (A) of rear cover cap (1)
and the marking position (B) of gear housing assembly.
–After installation, bleed air from the steering hydraulic system.
Refer to PS-39, "
HYDRAULIC LINE" .
–Perform final tightening of nuts and bolts on each part under
unladen conditions with tyres on level ground when removing
steering gear assembly. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-
5, "Wheel Alignment Inspection" .
–Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor after checking the wheel alignment for the models with
VDC. Refer to BRC-40, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Make sure that steering wheel operates smoothly by turning several times from full left stop to full right stop.

Outer Socket and Inner Socket
1. Ball joint swinging torque

Hook a spring balance at the point shown in the figure and
pull the spring balance. Make sure that the spring balance
reads the specified value when ball stud and inner socket
start to move. Replace outer socket and steering gear assem-
bly if they are outside the standard.

a. Wrap an OHP sheet [approximately 70 mm (2.76 in) ×100 mm
(3.94 in)]. Around rack assembly teeth to avoid damaging rack
oil seal (inner). Install rack oil seal over sheet. Then, pull OHP
sheet along with rack oil seal until they pass rack assembly
teeth, and remove OHP sheet.
b. Insert rack oil seal (inner) into rack assembly piston (rack Teflon
ring).
c. Push retainer to adjusting screw side by hand, and move the
rack assembly inside the gear housing assembly so that the
rack oil seal (inner) can be pressed against the gear housing
assembly
d. Wrap an OHP sheet [approximately 70 mm (2.76 in) ×100 mm
(3.94 in)]. Around the edge to avoid damaging rack oil seal
(outer). Install rack oil seal over sheet. Then, pull oil seal along
with OHP sheet until they pass rack edge, and remove OHP
sheet.
e. Install end cover assembly to rack edge, and move rack oil seal
(outer) until it contacts with gear housing assembly.
5. Tighten end cover assembly to specified torque using a 45 mm
(1.77 in) open head (suitable tool).
CAUTION:
Do not damage rack assembly. Replace it if damaged
because it may cause fluid leakage.
6. Crimp gear housing assembly at one point using a punch as
shown in the figure so as to prevent end cover assembly from
getting loose after tightening end cover assembly.

7. Install pinion assembly to gear housing assembly.
CAUTION:
In order to protect rack oil seal from any damage, insert pinion assembly out straightly.
8. Apply recommended fluid to O-ring, and the install O-ring to rear cover.
9. Using a rear cover wrench [SST: KV489Q0030] (A), install rear
cover to gear housing assembly.
10. Decide on the neutral position for the rack.
11. Install rear cover cap to pinion assembly.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the projection of rear cover cap is aligned
with the marking position of gear housing assembly.
12. Apply recommended thread locking sealant to the thread (2
turns thread), and then screw in the adjusting screw until it
reaches height “H” from gear housing assembly measured
before disassembling.
13. Move rack assembly 10 strokes throughout the full stroke so that
the parts can fit with each other.
14. Measure pinion rotating torque within ±180° of neutral position
of the rack assembly using the preload gauge [SST] and preload
adapter [SST]. Stop the gear at the point where highest torque is
read.
15. Loosen adjusting screw and retighten to 5.4 N·m (0.55 kg-m, 48
in-lb), and then loosen by 20 to 40°.

16. Measure pinion rotating torque using the preload adapter [SST]
and preload gauge [SST] to make sure that the measured value
is within the standard. Readjust if the value is outside the stan-
dard. Replace steering gear assembly if the value is outside the
standard after readjusting or adjusting screw rotating torque is 5
N·m (0.51 kg-m, 44 in-lb) or less.
17. Apply recommended Liquid Gasket to inner socket and turn pin-
ion fully to left with inner socket installed to gear housing assembly.
18. Set dial indicator as shown in the figure. Measure vertical move-
ment of rack assembly when pinion is turned clockwise with
torque of 19.6 N·m (2.0 kg-m, 14 in-lb). Readjust adjusting
screw angle if the measured value is outside the standard.
Replace gear assembly if the measured value is still outside the
standard or adjusting screw rotating torque is 5 N·m (0.51 kg-m,
44 in-lb) or less.
