Inspection
Univarsal Joint and Boots
1. Shift the transmission to Neutral.
2. Raise the vehicle off the ground, and support it with
safety stands in the proper locations (see section 1).
3. Check the cente. support bearing for excessive play
or rattle. It the center support has excessive play or
raftle, replace the propeller shaft assembly.
No. 1 PROPET_LER SHAFT
Check the universal joint boots for damage and dete-
rioration. lt the boots are damaged or deteriorated,
replace the propeller shaft assembly.
Check the universal joints for excessive play or rattle.
lf the universal joints have excessive play or rattle,
replace the propeller shaft assembly.
Propellor Shaft Runout
6. Install a dial indicator with its needle on the center of
No, 1 or No.2 propeller shaft.
7. Turn the other propeller shaft slowly and check the
runout. Repeat this procedure for the other propeller
shaft.
No. 1 Propeller Shaft Runout:
Service Limit: t.5 mm (0.06 in)
No. 2 Propeller Shaft Runout:
Service Limit: 1.5 mm {0.06 inl
lf the runout on either oroDeller shaft exceeds the
service limit, replac€ the propeller shaft assembly.

8. Installation is the reverse ofthe removal procedure.
Note these items during installation:
. Be sure the wires are not caught or pinched by
any parts when installing the column.
a Make sure the wire harness is routed and fas-
tened properly.
. Make sure the connectors are properly connected.
. Make sure the steering joint is connected as fol-
lows:
a. lnsert the uDper end of the steering joint onto
the steering shaft (line up the bolt hole with
the flat ot the shaft).
b. Slip the lower end of the steering ioint onto
the Dinion shaft (lins up the bolt hole with the
groove around the shaft). and installthe lower
ioint bolt. Be sure that the lower joint bolt is
securely in the groove in the pinion shaft'
c. Pull on the steering joint to make sure that the
steering joint is JullY seated.
Then install the upper joint bolt and tighten it.

bles leak through the valve at less than 98 kPa
(1.0 kgflcm', 14.2 psi), repair it as follows ('97 model).
For'98 - 00 models, the flow control valve cannot
be disassembled; replace the pump as an assembly

The relief pressure is adjusted at the factory by
adding shims under the check ball seat lf you found
shims in your valve, be sure you reinstall as many
as you took out.
lf the flow control valve tests OK, reinstall it in the
pump. It the flow control valve still leaks air, replace
the pump as an assembly. The flow control valve is
not available separately.

VALVE HOUSING
Separate the valve housing from the pinion shafv
valve using a press.
Check the inner wall of the valve housing where the
seal ring slides with your finger. lf there is a step in
the wall, the valve housing is worn. Replace the
valve housing.
Note these items during inspection:
o There may be the sliding marks from the seal
ring on the wall of the valve housing. Replace
the valve housing only if the wall is stepped.
. When the valve housing is replaced, install new
shim{s) on the bearing surface of the housing to
adiust the thickness.
Check the inside ofvalve housingfor a step in the wall.

26. Check for wear, burrs and other damage to the
edges of the grooves in the sleeve.
NOTE: The pinion shaft and sleeve are a precision
matched set. lf either the oinion shaft or sleeve
must be replaced, replace both parts as a set.
