REFITTING
Refitting is the reverse of removal. Observe the
recommended tightening torques.
Fill the circuit with oil.
Turn the wheels from left to right (engine not
running) to distribute the oil in the circuit.
Repeat the operation with the engine running
then top up the level.
If a new steering rack is being fitted, fit the track
rod ends in the position noted on removal.
To do this, slacken the bolt on the parallelism
adjustment sleeve and slacken the track rod end
while holding the axial ball joint using an open
wrench.
Make a mark or count the number of turns of
thread taken up so the parallelism can be pre-
adjusted on refitting.
Check the parallelism.
