STEERING WHEEL
a. Disconnect lower joint and steering knuckle from steering gear assembly. Refer to PS-12, "Removal and
Installation", FA X - 4 , "Removal and Installation", FAX-11, "Removal and Installation".
b. Start and run engine at idle to make sure steer ing fluid has reached normal operating temperature.
c. While pulling outer socket slowly in ±11.5 mm ( ±0.453 in) range
from neutral position, make sure rack sliding force is within
specification.
d. If rack sliding force is not within specification, overhaul steering gear assembly.
CHECKING FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
 Check front wheel turning angle after the toe-in inspection. Placefront wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on stands
so that vehicle can be level. Check the maximum inner and outer
wheel turning angles for LH and RH road wheels.
 Start engine and run at idle, turn steering wheel all the way right and left, measure the turning angle.
 Measure rack stroke if angles are outside the specified value.
 Disassemble steering gear assembly to check the cause that rack
stroke is outside of the standard.
 Steering angles are not adjustable. Check steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and front suspension components for
wear or damage if any of the turning angles are different from the
specified value. Replace any of them, if any non-standard condi-
tion exists.

NOTE:
When reconnecting spiral cable, fix cable with a tape so that fixing case and rotating part keep aligned. This
will omit neutral position alignment procedure during spiral cable installation. Rack sliding force

1. Set vehicle to the straight-ahead direction.
2. Remove driver air bag module. Refer to SRS-34, "
Removal and Installation".
3. Remove steering wheel lock nut after steering is locked.
4. Remove steering wheel using the steering wheel puller.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque, refer to PS-12, "Removal and Installation".
NOTE:
Check the spiral cable neutral position after r eplacing or rotating spiral cable. Refer to SRS-36, "
Removal and
Installation".
CAUTION:
Do not twist spiral cable freely on excessively after it becomes tight (doing so may cause the cable to
be turn off). Tool number A: ST27180001 (J-25726-A)

STEERING COLUMN
 If vehicle has a collision light shocked, check column length “L” as
shown in the figure. Then if it is out of the specified value, replace
with new one.
 Check the turning torque of steering column with preload gauge (SST). If it is out of the specified value, repair it or replace with new
one.
INSTALLATION
 Refer to "COMPONENTS" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.NOTE:
Refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts.
 After removing/installing or replacing steering components, check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-5, "
Wheel
Alignment Inspection".
 After adjusting wheel alignment, adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-8, "
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.
