 Measure the length (L) as shown, if vehicle has been involved in a
minor collision. Replace steering column assembly if out side the
standard.
 Install the bracket (1) and steering column housing (2) so that the
clearance (A) is within the specified range as described below.
Replace steering column assembly if out side the standard.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
 Check each part of steering column assembly for damage or other malfunctions. Replace if necessary.
 Check the steering wheel play, neutral position steering wheel, steering wheel turning force, and front wheel
turning angle. Refer to ST-9, "
Inspection".
 Check tilt mechanism operating range (L), as shown in the figure.Standard

 After lower shaft (steering gear side) fitted, make sure there is not
gap (A) between the yoke (1), lower shaft (2), joint fixing bolt (3).
 When installing lower joint 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 gear-sub 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 of
gear housing assembly (B).
- Install slit part of lower joint (C) aligning with the rear cover cap
projection (A). Make sure that the slit part of lower joint (C) is
aligned with rear cover cap projection (A) and the marking position
of gear housing assembly (B).
 Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-66,
"ADJUSTMENT OF STEERING ANGLE SENSOR NEUTRAL
POSITION : Special Repair Requirement".
 Check the following after installation:
- Check if steering wheel turns smoothly when it is turned several times fully to the end of the left and right.
- Check the steering wheel play, neutral position steering wheel, steering wheel turning force, and front wheel
turning angle. Refer to ST-9, "
Inspection".

 Check the length (A) (extended position) of the lower shaft.
 Check each part of lower shaft for damage or other malfunctions.
Replace if there are.

15. Install large end of boot to gear housing assembly.
16. Install small end of boot to inner socket boot mounting groove.
17. Install boot clamp to boot small end.
18. Install boot clamp to the large side of boot with the following procedure.
CAUTION:
Never reuse boot clamp.
a. Tighten large side of boot with boot clamp (stainless wire).
b. Wrap clamp around boot groove for two turns. Insert a flat-
bladed screwdriver in loops on both ends of wire. Twist 4 to 4.5
turns while pulling them with force of approximately 98 N (10 kg,
22 lb).
c. Twist boot clamp as shown. Pay attention to relationship
between winding and twisting directions.
d. Twisted area (A) of clamp is in the opposite side of adjusting
screw (1) as shown in the figure (to prevent contact with other
parts).

e. Bent cut end of the wire toward rack axial as shown in the figure
after twisting the wire 4 to 4.5 turns so that cut end does not con-
tact with boot.
19. Install cylinder tubes to gear housing assembly.
20. Install low pressure piping.
21. Adjust inner socket to standard length (L), and then tighten lock
nut to the specified torque. Check length again after tightening
lock nut.
CAUTION:

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
 Check if steering wheel turns smoothly when it is turned several times fully to the end of the left and right.
 Check the steering wheel play, neutral position steering wheel, steering wheel turning force, and front wheel
turning angle. Refer to ST-9, "
Inspection".
 Check the fluid level, fluid leakage, and air bleeding hydraulic system. Refer to ST-7, "
Inspection".
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Boot
Check boot for cracks, and replace it if a malfunction is detected.
Rack Assembly
Check rack for damage or wear, and replace it if a malfunction is detected.
Gear-Sub Assembly
 Check gear-sub assembly for damage or wear, and replace it if a malfunction is detected.
 Rotate gear-sub assembly and check for torque variation or rattle, and replace it if a malfunction is detected.
Gear Housing Assembly
Check gear housing assembly for damage and scratches (inner wall). Replace if there are.
