STEERING AND FRONT SUSPENSION Rack and Pinion
7
9. Apply a small amount of grease to the rack guide (13) where it comes into contact with the rack (17) (Figure
7-11, Page 7-9) .
10. Place a few drops of Loctite ® 222 to the threads of the screw (16) (Figure 7-11, Page 7-9) .
11. 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 7-11, Page 7-9) .
11.1. Reposition the rack and pinion in a vise.
11.2. Insert a 3/8-inch deep well socket (3) 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 7-10) .
11.3. Use a torque wrench connected to the 3/8-inch deep well socket (3) to measure the resistance of the rack
and pinion. Rotational resistance should measure 7 to 15 in-lb (0.8 to 1.7 N·m).
11.4. 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 7-10) . See following NOTE.
NOTE: When tightening the lock nut (15) make sure the screw (16) does not change adjustment (Figure 7-13,
Page 7-10) .
12. Install the dust seal bellows (20) and retaining ring (21) (Figure 7-11, Page 7-9) .
13. Install the dust seal bellows (1) and hex nut (29) (Figure 7-11, Page 7-9) .
14. Install the universal joint on the pinion. Tighten the bolt to 15 ft-lb (20 N·m).
15. Install new bellows clamps (wire ties) (2) (Figure 7-11, Page 7-9) .
16. Install the drag link (28) by fully threading the ground end into the inner ball joint (3). See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• The ball joint (23) (Figure 7-11, Page 7-9) 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.
17. Install the ball joint (23) (Figure 7-11, Page 7-9) . See preceding CAUTION.
RACK AND PINION INSTALLATION
1. Position the steering gear box assembly on the shock and gear support and install the bolts (30), washers (31),
and nuts (32). Do not tighten the mounting bolts
(Figure 7-11, Page 7-9) .
2. For ease of assembly and to prevent corrosion, apply a light coat of anti-seize and lubricating compound to the
splined end of the steering column shaft.
3. Align the flat portion of the steering shaft spline with the bolt hole in the universal joint and then slide the shaft
into the upper universal joint. Install the bolt and lock washer on the upper universal joint and tighten it to
15 ft-lb (20 N·m).
4. Tighten the steering rack mounting bolts (30) to 22 ft-lb (29.8 N·m) (Figure 7-11, Page 7-9) .
5. Adjust the steering. See Steering Adjustment on page 7-5.
