Measure the total pinion torque through the 
whole stroke of the rack.
1. Using special tool preload socket (MB991006), 
rotate the pinion shaft at the rate of one rotation in 
4 to 6 seconds to check the total pinion torque and 
the change in torque.
Standard value:
Total pinion torque: 0.8 − 2.1 N⋅m 
[Change in torque: 0.6 N
⋅m or less]
Total pinion torque: 0.7 − 2.1 N⋅m 
[Change in torque: 0.6 N
⋅m or less]
CAUTION
When adjusting, set at the highest value of the 
standard value range.
NOTE: If the total pinion toque cannot be adjusted 
to the standard value within the specified return 
angle, check the rack support cover components 
and replace any parts if necessary.
2. If the total pinion torque or the change in torque is  outside the standard value, move the rack support 
cover 0 
− 30°, and adjust the pinion torque again.
