INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check front suspension member for deformation, cracks, or other damage. Replace if there are.
INSTALLATION

Installation is the reverse order of the removal. For tightening torque, refer to FSU-7, "Components" .
NOTE:
Do not reuse non-reusable parts.

Perform final tightening of each of parts, under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing
front suspension member and transverse link. Check the wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-5, "
Wheel Align-
ment Inspection" .

Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor after checking the wheel alignment for models with VDC.
Refer to BRC-40, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

Removal and InstallationBGS0003T
REMOVAL
NOTE:
When reconnecting spiral cable, fix cable with a tape so that fixing case and rotating part keep aligned. This
will omit neutral position alignment procedure during spiral cable installation.
1. Set vehicle to the straight-ahead direction.
2. Remove driver air bag module. Refer to SRS-35, "
DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE" .
3. Remove steering wheel lock nut after steering is locked.
4. Remove steering wheel with the steering wheel puller [SST].
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque, refer to PS-12, "COMPONENTS" .
NOTE:
Check the spiral cable neutral position after replacing or rotating spiral cable. Refer to SRS-38, "
INSTALLA-
TION" .
CAUTION:
Do not twist spiral cable freely on excessively after it becomes tight (doing so may cause the cable to
be turn off).

STEERING COLUMN

INSTALLATION

Installation is the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque, refer to PS-12, "COMPONENTS" .

Install steering column assembly with tilt neutral condition to steering column assembly. Start installation
from vehicle front at this time.

When installing lower shaft to steering gear assembly, follow the procedure listed below.
–Set rack of steering gear in the neutral position.
NOTE:
To get the neutral position of rack, turn pinion assembly and measure the distance of inner socket, and
then measure the intermediate position of the distance.
–Align rear cover cap projection (A) with the marking position (B)
of gear housing assembly.
–Install slit part of lower shaft (C) aligning with the projection (A)
of rear cover cap (1). Make sure that the slit part of lower shaft
(C) is aligned with both the projection (A) of rear cover cap (1)
and the marking position (B) of gear housing assembly.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Make sure that steering wheel operates smoothly by turning several times from full left stop to full right stop.

77, "ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .
16. Remove rear engine mounting bracket and rear engine mounting insulator mounting bolts. Refer to EM-
77, "ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .
17. Remove rear engine mounting insulator and front suspension member fixing nuts and bolts. Refer to EM-
77, "ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .
18. Set jack under front suspension member.
19. Loosen mounting nuts (front side) of front suspension member. Refer to FSU-7, "
Components" .
20. Remove mounting bolts (body side) of member stay, and then loosen nuts (front suspension member side
mounting point) of member stay. Refer to FSU-7, "
Components" .
21. Gradually lower jack to remove steering gear assembly mounting nut and bolts and remove rack mounting
bracket, rack mounting insulator and sleeve from vehicle, and then remove steering gear assembly from
vehicle.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque, refer to PS-17, "COMPONENTS" .

When installing lower shaft to steering gear assembly, follow the procedure listed below.
–Set rack of steering gear in the neutral position.
NOTE:
To get the neutral position of rack, turn pinion assembly and measure the distance of inner socket, and
then measure the intermediate position of the distance.
–Align rear cover cap projection (A) with the marking position (B)
of gear housing assembly.
–Install slit part of lower shaft (C) aligning with the projection (A)
of rear cover cap (1). Make sure that the slit part of lower shaft
(C) is aligned with both the projection (A) of rear cover cap (1)
and the marking position (B) of gear housing assembly.
–After installation, bleed air from the steering hydraulic system.
Refer to PS-39, "
HYDRAULIC LINE" .
–Perform final tightening of nuts and bolts on each part under
unladen conditions with tyres on level ground when removing
steering gear assembly. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-
5, "Wheel Alignment Inspection" .
–Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor after checking the wheel alignment for the models with
VDC. Refer to BRC-40, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
