IN-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS AND REPAIRS

STEERING WORM AND

SECTOR

GEAR ADJUSTMENTS

The ball nut assembly and the sec-

tor gear must be adjusted properly to

maintain minimum steering shaft end

play (a factor of preload adjustment)

and minimum backlash between sector

gear and ball nut. There are only two

possible adjustments within the recir-

culating ball-type steering gear, and

these should be made in the following

order to avoid damage or gear failure.

1.
Disconnect the Pitman arm from

the steering Pitman-to-idler arm rod.

2.
Loosen the nut which locks the

sector adjusting screw (Fig. 3), and

turn the adjusting screw counterclock-

wise.
(On models equipped with the

Cobra Jet engine, it may be necessary

to use a suitable holding tool with an

extension and a long screwdriver to

make the gear adjustment).

3.
Measure the worm bearing pre-

load by attaching an in-lb torque

wrench to the steering wheel nut (Fig.

4).
With the steering wheel off center,

read the pull required to rotate the

input shaft approximately 1 1/2 turns

either side of center. If the torque or

preload is not within specification

(Part 3-1), adjust as explained in the

next step.

Adjustments—Typical

4.
Loosen the steering shaft bearing

adjuster lock nut, and tighten or back

off the bearing adjuster (Fig. 1) to

bring the preload within the specified

limits.

5.
Tighten the steering shaft bear-

ing adjuster lock nut, and recheck the

preload.

6. Turn the steering wheel slowly to

either stop. Turn gently against the

stop to avoid possible damage to the

ball return guides. Then rotate the

wheel 2-3/4 turns to center the ball

nut.
7.
Turn the sector adjusting screw

clockwise until the specified torque

(Part 3-13) is necessary to rotate the

worm past its center (high spot) (Fig.

1).

8. While holding the sector adjust-

ing screw, tighten the sector adjusting

screw locknut to specification, and re-

check the backlash adjustment.

9. Connect the Pitman arm to the

steering arm-to-idler arm rod.

1.
Install a 0-2000 psi pressure

gauge Tool T56L-33610-D in the pres-

sure line between the power steering

pump outlet port and the integral

steering gear inlet port.

2.
Make sure that the valve on the

3.
Check the fluid level in the reser-

voir and fill it to proper level with the

specified fluid.

4.
Start the engine and cycle the

steering wheel from stop-to-stop, to

bring the steering lubricant up to nor-

mal operating temperature. Stop the
engine and recheck the reservoir. Add

fluid if necessary.

5.
With the engine running at ap-

proximately 1000 rpm and the steer-

ing wheel centered, attach an inch-

pound torque wrench to the steering

wheel retaining nut. Apply sufficient

torque to the torque wrench in each

direction, either side of center, to get

a gauge reading of 250 psi.

6. The torque reading should be the

same in both directions when 250 psi

is reached. If the difference between

the readings exceeds 4 in-lbs, the

steering gear must be removed and the

valve centering shim removed from the

valve housing and a thicker or thinner
shim installed. Only one shim is to be

used. If the steering effort is heavy,

the shim thickness should be in-

creased. Shim thickness should be de-

creased if the steering effort is light to

the left.

The out of vehicle procedure for

valve centering check is the same as

for the in vehicle except the torque

and simultaneous pressure reading

must be made at the right and left

stops instead of either side of center.

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.
