Page 7-12).
13. Install the ball joints (9) to each end of the rack (2). Tighten to 20 ft-lb (27 N·m) (Figure 7-20, Page 7-11).
14. Tap a flange into the notch on the rack (Figure 7-24, Page 7-12).
15. Install the two dust seal bellows (10) (Figure 7-20, Page 7-11).
16. Install new bellows clamps (wire ties) (11) (Figure 7-20, Page 7-11).
17. For ease of assembly and to prevent corrosion, apply a light coat of anti-seize and lubricating compound
to the ball joint threads.
18. Install the two nuts (12) and drag links (19). Tighten drag link (19) against nut (12) to 20 ft-lb (27 N·m)
(Figure 7-10, Page 7-8 and Figure 7-20, Page 7-11).
19. Apply a light coat of anti-seize and lubricating compound to the drag link threads.
20. Install the two nuts (12) and ball joints (23) to the drag links (19). Tighten to 20 ft-lb (27 N·m) (Figure 7-

RACK AND PINION INSTALLATION
1. For ease of assembly and to prevent corrosion, apply a light coat of anti-seize and lubricating com-
pound to the end of the steering column U-joint.
2. Align the flat portion of the compound joint shaft spline with the bolt hole in the universal joint and then
slide the shaft into the universal joint. Install the bolt and lock washer and tighten to 15 ft-lb (20.3 N·m).
3. Position the steering gear box assembly on the vehicle frame and attach the steering U-joint to the gear
box assembly. Install the bolts (20), washers (21) and nuts (22). Using a crisscross pattern, tighten the
four nuts to 20 ft-lb (27.12 N·m) (Figure 7-20, Page 7-11).
4. Install the bolt and lockwasher on the upper universal joint and tighten it to 15 ft-lb (20 N·m).
5. Check all universal joint bolts for proper torque of 15 ft-lb (20 N·m).
6. Adjust the toe-in. See Toe-in Adjustment on page 7-14.
7. Inspect the brake hoses at the front wheels. When turning the steering wheel all the way from left to right
and back again, the hoses should not come in contact with any component, especially the wheels or tires.
