Description
The steering gear used is the rack-and-pinion type with power assist. It is mounted on the front suspension sub-
frame. The outer ends of the outer tie rods attach to the front knuckles.
NOTE :
The power steering gear should not be serviced or adjusted. If a malfunction or steering fluid leak occurs with the
steering gear, the complete steering gear needs to be replaced.
Operation
The steering wheel turns the pinion. The rack is a long flat bar with geared teeth on one side. The rack teeth mesh
with the teeth on the pinion gear. Rotation of the pinion moves the rack from left to right and right to left. The tie rod
then causes the wheels to turn to the left or right.

Before removing the front suspension sub-frame from the vehicle, the location of the sub-frame must be marked on
the body of the vehicle. Do this so the sub-frame can be relocated, upon reinstallation, against the body of vehicle in
the same location as before removal. If the front suspension sub-frame is not reinstalled in exactly the same location
as before removal, the preset front wheel alignment settings (caster and camber) may be lost.
19. Using a jack, slowly lower the sub-frame enough to access the intermediate shaft coupling at the steering gear pinion shaft.
20. Remove the steering gear assembly.
21. Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Installation Notes:
• After installing the new steering gear, perform a front end alignment procedure to reset the toe-in (See Front
Wheel Alignment in Section 10 Suspension).
