WHEEL & TIRE SPECIFICATIONS
Tire specifications are imprinted on the tire side wall. The
recommended cold tire inflation pressures are listed on a label
attached to the rear face of the driver's door. These pressures
provide the best combination of ride comfort, tire wear and stability
under normal conditions.
CAUTION: DO NOT mix tires of different design such as radial ply
with bias or bias-belted tires. Mixing tire types will
adversely affect road handling and may lead to loss of
vehicle control. When using snow tires, they must be used
in set of four for maneuverability and safety. DO NOT use
tire chains on front wheels.

allowing metal objects to contact the battery posts and the
vehicle at the same time.
CAUTION: Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running;
doing so could damage the car's electrical components.
REPLACING BLOWN FUSES
Before replacing a blown fuse, remove ignition key, turn off
all lights and accessories to avoid damaging the electrical system. Be
sure to use fuse with the correct indicated amperage rating. The use
of an incorrect amperage rating fuse may result in a dangerous
electrical system overload.
BRAKE PAD WEAR INDICATOR
Indicator will cause a squealing or scraping noise, warning
that brake pads need replacement.
BRAKE FLUID
WARNING: DO NOT use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has been stored
in old or open containers. It is essential that foreign
particles and other liquids are kept out of the brake fluid
reservoir.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Continued operation of vehicle with a severe malfunction
could cause converter to overheat, resulting in possible damage to
converter and vehicle.
ENGINE COOLANT SERVICE
WARNING: To avoid the danger of being scalded never change the coolant
when the engine is hot.
WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot Serious
burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from
the radiator.
CAUTION: When adding or replacing engine coolant, use a high quality
ethylene glycol antifreeze diluted with 50% distilled water.
When putting the cap on the reserve tank, line up the arrow
on the cap and the arrow on the tank, or coolant can leak out
ENGINE DRIVE BELT SERVICE
WARNING: Be sure the ignition key is OFF. The engine could rotate
unexpectedly.
ENGINE OIL
WARNING: The engine oil may be high enough to burn your fingers
when the drain plug is loosened. Wait until the drain plug
is cool enough to touch with you bare hands.
WARNING: Continuous contact with used engine oil has been found to
cause skin cancer in laboratory animals. Brief contact with
used engine oil may irritate skin. To minimize your exposure
to used oil, wear a long sleeve shirt and moisture-proof
gloves when changing oil. If oil contacts your skin, wash
Page 969 of 1501
thoroughly with soap and water.
CAUTION: Never use non-detergent or straight mineral oil.
FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE
WARNING: Relieve fuel system pressure prior to servicing any fuel
system component (fuel injection models).
HALOGEN BULBS
Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which may explode if
overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion of bulb with bare hands. Eye
protection should be worn when handling or working around halogen
bulbs.
RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: Always disconnect the fan motor when working near the
radiator fan. The fan is temperature controlled and could
start at any time even when the ignition key is in the OFF
position. DO NOT loosen or remove radiator cap when cooling
system is hot.
RADIATOR FAN
WARNING: Keep hands away from radiator fan. Fan is controlled by a
thermostatic switch which may come on or run for up to 15 minutes even
after engine is turned off.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
CAUTION: Due to the different warranties offered in various regions
and the variety of after-market extended warranties
available, please refer to the warranty package that came
with the vehicle to verify all warranty options.
FUSES & CIRCUIT BREAKERS
FUSE PANEL LOCATION
The electrical system is protected against shorts by fuses
that are designed to fail, to prevent damage to the wire harness. The
fuse block is located under the instrument panel on the driver's side.
If a fuse is blown, locate the cause before replacing the fuse. Spare
fuses are contained in the fuse block.

STEERING SYSTEM - POWER RECIRCULATING BALL
1998 Mitsubishi Montero
1997-98 STEERING
Mitsubishi - Power Recirculating Ball
Montero, Montero Sport
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
STEERING GEAR
The power steering gear displaces fluid to provide hydraulic
pressure assist while turning. A one-piece rack piston nut is geared
to cross shaft. Backlash is adjusted with an adjusting screw.
STEERING LINKAGE
Linkage consists of an idler arm, relay rod, steering
knuckles and adjustable tie rods. Components are connected by ball
joints. Linkage assembly is connected to steering gear by pitman arm.
LUBRICATION
FLUID TYPE
Recommended fluid type is Dexron-II ATF.
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Place vehicle in level position. Start engine and let idle.
Turn steering wheel left and right. Replace fluid if it has bubbles or
has become White. Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX marks on
dipstick. Fill to proper level.
FLUID REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: DO NOT crank engine for more than 15-20 seconds at a time.
1) Remove reservoir cap. Disconnect return hose at reservoir.
Drain fluid. Disconnect coil high tension wire. Raise and support
vehicle.
2) Turn steering wheel lock-to-lock several times while
cranking engine to drain fluid from steering gear. Reconnect hose.
Fill power steering system with fluid. Bleed system. See
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BLEEDING .
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BLEEDING
CAUTION: DO NOT crank engine for more than 15-20 seconds at a time.
Add fluid as needed during procedure to prevent reservoir
level from dropping.
1) Ensure reservoir is filled before bleeding. Add fluid (if
necessary) during bleeding. Raise and support front of vehicle.
Disconnect coil high tension wire.
2) While cranking engine, turn steering wheel lock-to-lock 5
or 6 times. Lower vehicle. Connect coil wire. Start engine and let
idle. Turn steering wheel lock-to-lock until no more bubbles appear in
oil reservoir.

end dust cover. Coat lower edge of cup with packing sealer. Install
tie rod ends into adjusting sleeves.
2) Measure center-to-center distance between tie rod studs
for both tie rod assemblies. Adjust center-to-center distance to
specification. See TIE ROD INSTALLATION LENGTH table.
3) An equal number of threads should be visible on each side
of adjusting sleeve. Install tie rod ends in steering knuckle and
relay rod. Install tie rod end castle nuts and NEW cotter pins.
Tighten castle nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.

Disassembly
1) Scribe mating marks on pitman arm and cross shaft. Remove
pitman arm nut. Using a puller, remove pitman arm. Drain power
steering fluid. Remove side cover bolts. See Fig. 3. Loosen adjusting
bolt lock nut, and screw in adjusting bolt so side cover raises
slightly.
2) With mainshaft and cross shaft placed in straight-ahead
position, tap bottom of cross shaft with plastic hammer. Remove cross
shaft and side cover as an assembly. Remove side cover from cross
shaft by turning adjusting bolt.
3) Remove valve housing and rack piston as an assembly by
turning rack piston counterclockwise. See Fig. 3. Carefully remove
rack piston from mainshaft without losing balls inside rack piston.
4) Remove cross shaft oil seal from gearbox housing. Put rack
piston in soft jawed vise. Using Spanner Wrench (MB991367) and Pin Set\
(MB991394), remove lock nut. Remove mainshaft while applying pressure
to bearing race to prevent balls from falling out. Drive out bearing
and oil seal.
NOTE: DO NOT remove cross shaft "U" packing at rear of needle
bearing unless fluid leakage is found coming from adjusting
bolt threads. If leakage exists, replace "U" packing.
Page 1163 of 1501
