OUTLINE
OUTLINE OF CONSTRUCTIONA6E660201036201•The construction and operation of the steering system is essentially carried over from that of the current
Mazda6 (GG), except for the following features. (See Mazda6 Training Manual 3359-1*-02C.)
• Due to the addition of the MZR-CD (RF Turbo) engine, a gear-driven power steering oil pump has been
adopted. The operation of the oil pump is the same as that of the current Mazda6 (GG).
• The disassembly/assembly procedures for the steering gear and linkage of the newly equipped MZR-CD (RF
Turbo) engine, wagon and 4WD models are the same as that of the current Mazda6 (GG).

Fluid Pressure Inspection
1. Assemble the SSTs as shown in the figure.
2. Disconnect the pressure pipe from the oil pump,
and connect the SSTs.
Tightening torque
29.4—44.1 N·m {3.0—4.4 kgf·m, 22—32 ft·lbf}
3. Bleed the air from the system.
4. Open the gauge valve fully.
5. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel fully
left and right to raise the fluid temperature to 50—
60 °C {122—140 °F}.
6. Close the gauge valve completely.
7. Increase the engine speed to 1,000—1,500 rpm
and measure the fluid pressure generated by the
oil pump.
•If the pressure is not within the specification,
repair or replace the oil pump component.
Caution
•If the valve is left closed for more than 5
seconds, the fluid temperature will rise
excessively and adversely affect the oil
pump.

8. Open the gauge valve fully and increase the
engine speed to 1,000—1,500 rpm.
9. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and right,
then measure the fluid pressure generated at the
gear housing.
•If the pressure is not within the specification,
repair or replace the steering gear
component.
Caution
•If the steering wheel is kept in the fully
turned position for more than 5 seconds,
the fluid temperature will rise excessively

Caution
•Performing the following procedures without first removing the ABS wheel-speed sensor may
possibly cause an open circuit in the harness if it is pulled by mistake. Before performing the
following procedures, remove the ABS wheel-speed sensor (axle side) and fix it to an appropriate
place where the sensor will not be pulled by mistake while servicing the vehicle.
L.H.D.
1. Remove the under cover and mud guard. (Left side)
2. Remove the front auto leveling sensor.
3. Separate the stabilizer control link. (shock absorber side)
4. Separate the front lower arm (front and rear) ball joint.
