12. Install the rack guide (13), pressure spring (14), and screw (16). The screw should be threaded in until
a rotational torque of 10 in-lb (1.13 N·m) is achieved
(Figure 7-8, Page 7-8)
.
12.1. Reposition the rack and pinion in a vise.
12.2. Insert a 3/8 inch deep well socket into the steering column end of the universal joint (2) and tighten
the bolt (1) to 15 ft-lb (20.3 N·m)
(Figure 7-14, Page 7-11)
.
12.3. Use a torque wrench connected to the 3/8 inch deep well socket to measure the resistance of the
rack and pinion. Rotational resistance should measure 7 to 15 in-lb (.8 to 1.7 N·m).
12.4. If measured resistance does not equal 7 to 15 in-lb, loosen the lock nut (15) and tighten the screw
(16) until it bottoms out, then back the screw off one quarter turn. Tighten the lock nut to 28 ft-lb (38
N·m)
(Figure 7-13, Page 7-11)
.
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
When tightening the lock nut (15), make sure the screw (16) does not change adjustment
(Figure 7-13, Page 7-11)
.
13. Install the dust seal bellows (20) and retaining ring (21)
(Figure 7-8, Page 7-8)
.
14. Install the dust seal bellows (1) and hex nut (29).
15. Install the universal joint on the pinion. Tighten the bolt to 15 ft-lb (20 N·m).
16. Install new bellows clamps (wire ties) (2).
17. Install the drag link (28) by fully threading the grooved end onto the inner ball joint (3).
See following
CAUTION.
CAUT ION
• The ball joint (23) (Figure 7-8, Page 7-8) has left-hand threads.
• The tie rod and drag link have right-hand threads on one end and left-hand threads on the
other end. Right-hand threads are identified by a groove in the tie rod or drag link.
18. Install the ball joint (23).
See preceding CAUTION.
