STEERING COLUMN
1. Check the column bearings for damage or unevenness. Lubricate with recommended multi-purposegrease. Replace the steering column as an assembly, if necessary.
2. Check the column tube for deformation or breakage. R eplace the steering column as an assembly, if nec-
essary.
3. If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, or if noise and rat- tles are heard during a turn, check the length "L" of the column.
If out of specification, replace the steering column as an assem-
bly.
4. Check for proper lubrication, apply grease as necessary.
5. Check for wear around the seal edges, replace the steering col- umn as an assembly as necessary.
6. Check for corrosion or pitting around the seal sliding area.
7. Replace the seal and shaft in case of seal edge wear or damage.
8. After installing the steering column, check the tilt mechanism for proper operation.
CAUTION:
• Do not exert any load in the axial direction immediately before or after column removal.
• After installation, check smooth steering wh eel rotation, without any catches or noise.

CAUTION:
• Secure steering gear assembly with a vise, using copper plates or something similar to prevent it
from being damaged. Do not grip cylinder with a vise.
• Before performing disassembly, clean steering gear assembly with kerosene. Be careful not to bring
any kerosene into contact with the di scharge and return port connectors.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove cylinder tubes from gear housing assembly.
2. Loosen lock nuts of outer sockets, and remove outer sockets.
3. Remove boot clamps of the small diameter si de and the large diameter side, then remove boot.
CAUTION:
When removing boots, be careful not to damage inner socket and gear housing assembly. If they
are damaged, change th em to avoid oil leaks.
4. Remove inner sockets.

Gear Housing Assembly
Check gear housing assembly for dents, cracks or damage. Replace as an assembly if necessary.
Outer Socket and Inner Socket
SWING TORQUE• Measure the swing torque, using suitable Tool. When ball stud and
inner socket start moving the measured value must be within the
specification. If the reading is out side the specification, replace the
socket.
ROTATING TORQUE• Measure the rotating torque, using Tool. If the value is outside the
specification, replace the outer sockets.
AXIAL END PLAY• Apply a load of 490 N (50 kg-f, 110 lb-f) to the ball stud axially. Usea dial gauge to measure the amount of the movement that the stud
makes. If the value is outside the specification, replace the sock-
ets.
