3. Using the special tools, rotate the pinion gear at the rate
of one rotation in approximately 4 to 6 seconds to check
the total pinion torque.
Standard value: 0.9 – 1.7 Nm
[Change in torque: 0.4 Nm]
Caution
(1) When adjusting, set the standard value at its
highest value.
(2) Assure no ratcheting or catching when operating
the rack towards the shaft direction.
NOTE
When it cannot be adjusted within the specified return
angle, check or replace the rack support cover
components.
4. After adjusting, lock the rack support cover with lock nut.
LTAB WASHER / TIE-ROD INSTALLATION
After installing the tie-rod to the rack, fold the tab washer
end (2 locations) to the tie-rod notch.
MBELLOWS BAND INSTALLATION
1. Turn the adjusting bolt of the special tool to adjust the
opening dimension (W) to the standard value.
Standard value (W): 2.9 mm

Screw in the adjusting bolt.

Loosen the adjusting bolt.

2. Use the special tool to crimp the bellows band.
Caution
(1) Hold the rack housing, and use the special tool
to crimp the bellows band securely.
(2) Crimp the bellows band until the special tool
touches the stopper.
3. Check that the crimped width (A) is within the standard
value.
Standard value (A): 2.4 – 2.8 mm

Readjust the dimension (W) of step (1) to the value
calculated by the following equation, and repeat
step (2).
W = 5.5 mm – A [Example: If (A) is 2.9 mm, (W)
is 2.6 mm.]

Remove the bellows band, readjust the dimension
(W) of step (1) to the value calculated by the
following equation, and use a new bellows band
to repeat steps (2) to (3).
W = 5.5 mm – A [Example: If (A) is 2.3 mm, (W)
is 3.2 mm.]
NTIE-ROD END / TIE-ROD END LOCKING NUT
INSTALLATION
Screw in the tie-rod end until the dimension shown is achieved.
Then, temporarily tighten with the locking nut.
NOTE
The locking nut must be tightened securely only after the
power steering gear box and linkage are installed to the vehicle
and toe-in is adjusted.
TIE-ROD END BALL JOINT DUST COVER
REPLACEMENT
