2. If the measured value is out of specifications, first adjust the yoke plug, then recheck the total pinion preload.
3. If not obtain the total pinion preload after adjusting the yoke plug check or replace the yoke plug components.
TIE ROD SWING RESISTANCE
1. Rotate the tie rod severely ten times.
2. Measure the tie rod swing resistance with a spring scale.
Standard value
Total rod swing resistance :
2~5 Nm (20~50 kg·cm, 17~43 lb·in)
3. If the measured value exceeds the standard value, replace the tie rod assembly.
Even if the measured value is below the standard value, the tie rod that swings smoothly without
excessive play may be used. If the measuredvalue is below 0.44 kg·cm, replace the tie rod.
BELLOWS INSPECTION
1. Inspect the bellows for damage or deterioration.
2. Make sure the bellows are secured in the correct position.
3. If the bellows are defective, replace them with new ones.
