STEERING WHEEL PLAY
Raise and support vehicle. Start engine and let idle. With
steering wheel in center position, ensure free play is 1.1" (27 mm) or\
less. If measured value exceeds specification, check steering gear
backlash and linkage ball joint end play. See STEERING GEAR BACKLASH
and LINKAGE BALL JOINT END PLAY.
STEERING GEAR BACKLASH
1) Set steering wheel in straight-ahead position. Raise and
support vehicle. Disconnect relay rod from pitman arm. Using a dial
indicator, measure steering gear backlash at top end of pitman arm.
2) Steering gear backlash should not exceed .02" (.5 mm). If\
measured value exceeds limit, turn steering gearbox adjusting bolt
until steering wheel free play is within specification. See Fig. 1.

TESTING
Page 1158 of 1501
1) Disconnect pressure hose from power steering pump. Attach
Pressure Gauge (MB990662-01) and Adapters (MB990993-01 and MB990994-
01). See Fig. 2. Tighten fittings to 22-29 ft. lbs. (30-39 N.m).
2) Bleed system. See HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BLEEDING under
LUBRICATION . Turn wheel several times to bleed air from gauge. Start
engine and let idle. Place thermometer in reservoir. Check fluid
level. Add fluid as necessary.
3) When fluid temperature reaches 122-140
F (50-60C),
disconnect connector from P/S pressure switch. Connect ohmmeter across
switch terminals. Slowly close shut-off valve. Check pressure when
ohmmeter indicates switch has closed (continuity). Pressure should be
218-290 (15-20 N.m). Slowly open shut-off valve. Check pressure when
ohmmeter indicates switch has opened (no continuity). Pressure should
be 102-174 (7-12 N.m). Reinstall pressure hose. Do not twist hose or
let hose interfere with adjacent parts. Replace P/S pressure switch if
pressure is not within specification. Bleed system.
CAUTION: DO NOT keep shutoff valve closed more than 3 seconds at a
time. DO NOT keep steering wheel turned to full lock
position for more than 10 seconds at a time.
STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
Stationary Test
1) Position vehicle on level surface. Place steering wheel in
straight-ahead position. Start engine and let idle. Using a spring
scale, measure steering wheel turning force clockwise and
counterclockwise.
2) On Montero, turning force should be 8.2 lbs. (3.7 kg) or
less. On Montero Sport, turning force should be 8.8 lbs. (3.9 kg) or
less. If turning force exceeds specification, check for loose or
damaged belt, insufficient fluid, air in power steering fluid, and
collapsed or twisted hoses. Repair or replace as necessary.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
IDLER ARM
Removal
Loosen relay rod-to-idler arm lock nut. Using Steering
Linkage Puller (MB991113 or MB990635), separate idler arm from relay
rod and remove relay rod-to-idler arm lock nut. Remove idler arm bolts
and nuts. Remove idler arm. On Montero, loosen, but DO NOT remove
idler arm-to-bracket nut. Press arm from bracket and remove nut and
arm.
Inspection
Check idler arm bushings for damage or wear. Check idler arm
ball stud for looseness.
Installation
1) Apply multipurpose grease to inside surface of bushing and
idler arm support shaft. Insert bushing in idler arm. Insert idler arm
support in idler arm.
2) Install washer (knurled side toward bushing) and NEW lock\
nut. Tighten lock nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
Place idler arm assembly in vise. Using a spring gauge, measure
turning resistance.
3) On all models, turning resistance should be 3-18 INCH lbs.
(.3-2.0 N.m). On Montero, if turning resistance is not within
specification, loosen or tighten lock nut to obtain proper resistance.
4) Install idler arm bolts and nuts. Install relay rod-to-
Page 1159 of 1501
idler arm. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
POWER STEERING GEAR
Removal & Installation
1) Drain power steering fluid. See FLUID REPLACEMENT under
LUBRICATION . Remove steering shaft-to-steering gear clamp bolt.
Disconnect pressure and return hoses from steering gear.
2) Remove cotter pin and castle nut from pitman arm. Using
Puller (C-3894-A), separate pitman arm from relay rod.
3) Remove steering gear mounting nuts. Disconnect steering
shaft from steering gear. Remove steering gear. To install, reverse
removal procedure.
POWER STEERING PUMP & RESERVOIR
Removal
Drain power steering fluid. See FLUID REPLACEMENT under
LUBRICATION . Disconnect hoses from reservoir. Remove reservoir.
Disconnect hoses from pump. Loosen pump retaining bolts. Remove belt.
Remove pump and mounting bracket(s).
Installation
To install, reverse removal procedure. Check power steering
pump bracket for slack. Tighten bracket (if necessary). Fill and bleed\
reservoir. See FLUID REPLACEMENT and HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BLEEDING under
LUBRICATION . Start engine and turn steering wheel lock-to-lock to
check for fluid leaks.
RELAY ROD
Removal
Remove inner tie rod end cotter pins and lock nuts. Separate
tie rod ends from relay rod. Remove cotter pins and castle nuts from
idler arm and pitman arm. Using a puller, separate relay rod from
idler arm and pitman arm.
Installation
To install relay rod, reverse removal procedure. Ensure dust
covers are well greased and lower edge of covers are coated with
packing sealer. Tighten relay rod-to-idler arm and relay rod-to-pitman
arm castle nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
Removal
1) Remove skid plate (if necessary). Remove cotter pins and
loosen lock nuts from tie rod ball studs at steering knuckle and relay
rod end.
2) Using Steering Linkage Puller (MB991113 or MB990635),
separate tie rod ends from knuckle and relay rod end and remove lock
nuts. Loosen tie rod adjusting sleeve lock nuts, and unscrew tie rod
ends.
Inspection
Check tie rod ends for damage and ball studs for looseness.
On Montero, measure ball stud starting torque. Torque should be 9-27
INCH lbs. (1.0-3.0 N.m). If ball stud starting torque exceeds
specification, replace tie rod.
Installation
1) Install "O" ring on ball socket. Grease inside of tie rod

If diagnosis has determined that complete disassembly is
necessary to determine the extent of the system failure, the
suggestion may be made to rebuild or replace the power steering pump.
Repair or replacement of the following components may be required if
performed as part of a power steering pump overhaul or rebuild service
to meet a minimum rebuild standard.

WHEELS AND TIRES
TIRES
These guidelines do not apply to split rims. Some vehicle
manufacturers restrict replacement of tires to specific brands, types,
or sizes.
WARNING: High pressure temporary compact spare tires should not be
used with any other rims or wheels, nor should standard
tires, snow tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be used
with high pressure compact spare rims or wheels.
Attempting to mount a tire of one diameter on a wheel of
a different diameter or flange type may result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING: Only specially trained persons should dismount or mount
tires. Explosions of tire and wheel assembly can result
from improper mounting, possibly causing serious injury
or death.
WARNING: Consult the vehicle owner's manual or vehicle placard for
correct size, speed rating, designation, and cold
inflation pressure of the original tires. DO NOT exceed
the maximum load or inflation capacity of the tire
specified by the Tire and Rim Association
WARNING: When replacing tires, it is suggested that the
replacement tires match or exceed the OEM speed rating
designation. If tires of different speed rating
designations are mixed on the same vehicle, the tires may
vary in handling characteristics. DO NOT mix different
speed rating designations on the same axle.
WARNING: DO NOT mix radials with non-radial tires on the same
axle, as this may affect vehicle handling and stability.
If radial tires and bias or bias-belted ply tires are
mixed on the same vehicle, the radials must be on the
rear. High-pressure temporary compact spare tires are
exempt from this rule.
WARNING: DO NOT mix size or type (all season, performance, mud and
snow) of tires on the same axle.
