INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Check if there is something wrong with jacket tube of steering column assembly and collar etc. And then if
they are damaged, replace with new one.

If vehicle has a collision light shocked, check column length “L”
as shown in the figure. Then if it is out of the specified value,
replace with new one.

Check the turning torque of steering column with preload gauge
(SST: ST3127S000 [J-25765-A]). If it is out of the specified
value, repair it or replace with new one.
INSTALLATION
1. Install collar to lower shaft.
2. Install yoke of column shaft to collar, tack bolt and nut.Specified value
Steering column length “L”: 548 mm (21.57 in)

18. Install large-diameter side of boot to gear housing assembly.
19. Install small-diameter side of boot to the mounting groove of
inner socket boot.
20. Install boot clamp to the small-diameter side of boot.
21. Install boot clamp to the large-diameter side of boot.
NOTE:
Do not reuse boot clamp.
a. Tighten large-diameter side of RH/LH boot with boot clamp
(stainless wire).
b. After wrapping clamp around boot groove for two turns, insert
screwdriver in loop on both ends of wire. Twist 4 to 4.5 turns
while pulling with a force of approx. 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb).
c. Twist boot clamp as shown in the figure, pay attention to rela-
tionship between winding and twisting directions.
d. Confirm the twisted point with clamp faces in the opposite direc-
tion to adjusting screw within 30° as shown in the figure.
Amount of vertical movement with rack Less than 0.265 mm (0.0104 in)
Measuring pointAxial direction of rack 5 mm (0.20 in) away from end of gear housing

e. After twisting wire 4 to 4.5 turns, bend cut end of wire. Cut end of
wire should not touch boot. Be sure wire end is at least 5 mm
(0.20 in) away from clearance for tube.
22. Install cylinder tubes to gear housing assembly.
23. Tighten lightly inner socket in specified length “L”, then tighten
lock nut at specified torque. Refer to PS-19, "
COMPONENTS" .
Reconfirm if inner socket length is within limit of specified length
“L”.
CAUTION:
Perform toe-in adjustment after this procedure. Length
achieved after toe-in adjustment is not necessarily value
given here.
