(11) Increase the engine speed to 1100 rpm and
read the flow meter. The reading should be 2.6 GPM
minimum, if the reading is below this specification,
the pump should be replaced.
FLOW AND PRESSURE TEST - FLOW FROM
HYDRAULIC FAN MOTOR TO STEERING GEAR
(should be done if necessary after the Pump flow
test)
(1) Connect the pressure gauge hose from the
Power Steering Analyzer to Fitting 8630-1.
(2) Connect Adapter 8630-4 to Power Steering
Analyzer test valve end.
(3) Disconnect the high pressure hose from the
power steering gear.
(4) Connect Fitting 8630-1 to the high pressure
hose.
(5) Connect Adapter 8630-4 to the power steering
gear.
(6) Open the test valve completely.
(7) Start engine and let idle long enough to circu-
late power steering fluid through the flow/pressure
test gauge.
(8) Shut off the engine and check the fluid level,
add fluid ass necessary. Start engine again and let
idle.
(9) The initial pressure reading should be 345-552
kPa (50-80 psi). If pressure is higher inspect the
hoses for restrictions and repair as necessary.(10) Increase the engine speed to 1500 RPM and
read the flow meter. The reading should be 2.4 - 2.8
GPM if the reading is below this specification the fan
should be replaced.
CAUTION: This next step involves testing maximum
fan motor steering relief pressure. Do not leave the
valve closed for more than three seconds.
(11) Close the valve fully three times for three sec-
onds and record highest pressures indicated each
time. All three readings must be at fan motor steer-
ing relief pressures.
(12) Open the test valve and turn the steering
wheel to the extreme left and right positions against
the stops. Record the highest pressure readings at
each position. If pressure readings are not within 50
psi from each other, the gear is leaking internally
and must be repaired.

ing device for most electrical components. The
mechanical key lock cylinder is used to engage/disen-
gage the electrical ignition switch.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - IGNITION SWITCH
ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSIS
For ignition switch electrical schematics, refer to
Ignition Switch in Wiring Diagrams.
MECHANICAL DIAGNOSIS (KEY DIFFICULT TO
ROTATE)
Vehicles equipped with an automatic trans-
mission and a floor mounted shifter:a cable is
used to connect the interlock device in the steering
column assembly, to the transmission floor shift
lever. This interlock device is used to lock the trans-
mission shifter in the PARK position when the key
lock cylinder is rotated to the LOCKED or ACCES-
SORY position. The interlock device within the steer-
ing column is not serviceable. If repair is necessary,the steering column assembly must be replaced,(Re-
fer to 19 - STEERING/COLUMN - REMOVAL).
If the ignition key is difficult to rotate to or from
the LOCK or ACCESSORY position, it may not be
the fault of the key cylinder or the steering column
components. The brake transmission shift interlock
cable may be out of adjustment,(Refer to 21 -
TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC -
44RE/SHIFT INTERLOCK MECHANISM - ADJUST-
MENTS) .
Vehicles equipped with an automatic trans-
mission and a steering column mounted shifter:
an interlock device is located within the steering col-
umn. This interlock device is used to lock the trans-
mission shifter in the PARK position when the key
lock cylinder is in the LOCKED or ACCESSORY
position. If it is difficult to rotate the key to or from
the LOCK or ACCESSORY position, the interlock
device within the steering column may be defective.
This device is not serviceable. If repair is necessary,
the steering column assembly must be replaced,(Re-
fer to 19 - STEERING/COLUMN - REMOVAL).
Vehicles equipped with a manual transmis-
sion and a floor mounted shifter:on certain mod-
els, a lever is located on the steering column behind
the ignition key lock cylinder. The lever must be
manually operated to allow rotation of the ignition
key lock cylinder to the LOCK or ACCESSORY posi-
tion. If it is difficult to rotate the key to the LOCK or
ACCESSORY position, the lever mechanism may be
defective. This mechanism is not serviceable. If
repair is necessary, the steering column assembly
must be replaced,(Refer to 19 - STEERING/COL-
UMN - REMOVAL).
On other models, the ignition key cylinder must be
depressed to allow it to be rotated into the LOCK or
ACCESSORY position. If it is difficult to rotate the
key to the LOCK or ACCESSORY position, the lock
mechanism within the steering column may be defec-
tive. This mechanism is not serviceable. If repair is

GEAR
DESCRIPTION
The power steering gear is a recirculating ball type
gear (Fig. 1) .
The following gear components can be serviced:
²Pitman Shaft and Cover
²Pitman Shaft Bearings
²Pitman Shaft Oil Seal/Dust Seal
²Stud Shaft Housing with Seal
²O-Rings and Teflon Rings
NOTE: If rack piston assembly is damaged the gear
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The gear acts as a rolling thread between the
worm shaft and rack piston. The worm shaft is sup-
ported by a thrust bearing at the lower end and a
bearing assembly at the upper end. When the worm
shaft is turned the rack piston moves. The rack pis-
ton teeth mesh with the pitman shaft. Turning the
worm shaft turns the pitman shaft, which turns the
steering linkage.
REMOVAL
(1) Place the front wheels in the straight ahead
position with the steering wheel centered and locked.
(2) Remove the air cleaner housing,(Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/AIR INTAKE SYSTEM/AIR CLEANER
HOUSING - REMOVAL).
(3) Drain or siphon the power steering system.(4) Remove the pressure and return lines (Fig.

ADJUSTMENTS
STEERING GEAR
NOTE: Adjusting the steering gear in the vehicle is
not recommended. Remove gear from the vehicle
and drain the fluid. Then mount gear in a vise to
perform adjustments.
OVER-CENTER
(1) Rotate the stub shaft with Socket 8343 from
stop to stop and count the number of turns.
(2) Center the stub shaft by rotating it from the
stop 1/2 of the total amount of turns.
(3) Place torque wrench and Socket 8343 in a ver-
tical position on the stub shaft. Rotate the wrench 45
degrees each side of the center and record the high-
est rotational torque in this range (Fig. 4) . This is
the Over-Center Rotating Torque.
NOTE: The stub shaft must rotate smoothly without
sticking or binding.
(4) Rotate the stub shaft between 90É and 180É to
the left of center and record the left off-center pre-
load. Repeat this to the right of center and record the
right off-center preload. The average of these two
recorded readings is the Preload Rotating Torque.
(5) The Over-Center Rotating Torque should be
0.45-0.80 N´m (4-7 in. lbs.)higherthan the Preload
Rotating Torque.
(6) If an adjustment to the Over-Center Rotating
Torque is necessary, first loosen the adjuster lock
nut. Then turn the pitman shaft adjuster screw back
(COUNTERCLOCKWISE) until fully extended, then
turn back in (CLOCKWISE) one full turn.
(7) Remeasure Over-Center Rotating Torque. If
necessary turn the adjuster screw and repeat mea-
surement until correct Over-Center Rotating Torque
is reached.
NOTE: To increase the Over-Center Rotating Torque
turn the screw CLOCKWISE.(8) Prevent the adjuster screw from turning while
tightening adjuster lock nut. Tighten the adjuster
lock nut to 37-52 N´m (27-38 ft. lbs.).
