8. Check the other two bolts on the universal joint (1) to ensure that they are properly tightened to 15 ft-lb
(20 N·m) (Figure 7-3, Page 7-3) .
9. Reinstall dash pocket and related hardware.
10. Reinstall instrument panel in reverse order of disassembly. Make sure the instrument panel is properly
seated and fastened into place.
11. Install front body and bumper. See Section 4 – Body and Trim.
STEERING ADJUSTMENT
See General Warning on page 1-1.
1. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. Note the distance between the passenger-side spindle
stop (2) and passenger-side A-plate (3) (Figure 7-6, Page 7-7). The internal stop on the rack must reach
its limit of travel against rack and pinion housing at exactly the same time the spindle stops against the
passenger-side A-plate (with vehicle wheels turned to the right). If simultaneous contact occurs, steering
is in correct adjustment; Proceed to step 4. If simultaneous contact does not occur, proceed to step 2.
2. Loosen the nuts (27 and 29) and turn the drag link (28) (Figure 7-8, Page 7-8) to adjust the drag link rod.
Adjust the link rod with the steering wheel turned all the way to the right, so the passenger-side spindle
stop lightly touches the passenger-side A-Plate. The internal stop on the rack must reach its limit of travel
at the same time the spindle stops against the passenger-side A-plate (with vehicle wheels turned to the
right).
See following CAUTION.
CAUT ION
• The drag link has both left and right-hand threads. The end of the drag link toward the spindle
has left-hand threads, and the end toward the rack has right-hand threads. To prevent damage
to threaded parts, care should be taken when servicing the drag link.
3. When all adjustments have been completed, tighten the nuts (27 and 29) on the drag link assembly with
an open end wrench. Tighten nuts to 21 ft-lb (28.4 N·m) (Figure 7-8, Page 7-8) . See following CAU-
TION.
CAUT ION
• When tightening the nuts (27 and 29), make sure the drag link (28) does not turn (Figure 7-8,
Page 7-8).
4. Straighten wheels and then turn steering wheel from lock to lock. Wheels should turn smoothly and eas-
ily. If steering wheel does not turn smoothly and easily, inspect steering assemblies; e.g., ball joints (23)
(Figure 7-8, Page 7-8) and (6 and 13) (Figure 7-19, Page 7-17) , spindle bushings (3 and 4)
(Figure 7-20, Page 7-18) , wave washers (20) (Figure 7-20, Page 7-18) , and rack assembly (17)
(Figure 7-8, Page 7-8) . Also inspect front suspension assemblies; e.g., A-Plates (1) (Figure 7-19,
Page 7-17) urethane bushings (2) (Figure 7-19, Page 7-17) and leaf springs (6) (Figure 7-20,
Page 7-18) . Replace components as necessary.
