Hyundai Tiburon (2003 year). Manual — part 125

Measure the pinion preload through the entire stroke of the rack.

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.

REASSEMBLY

1. Apply the specified fluid to the entire surface of the rack oil seal.

Recommended fluid : PSF-3

2. Install the oil seal to the specified position in the rack housing.

3. Apply the specified fluid to the entire surface of the rack bushing oil seal.

Recommended fluid : PSF-3

4. Install the oil seal in the rack bushing.

5. Apply the specified fluid to the entire surface of the O-ring and install it in the rack bushing.

6. Apply the specified grease to the rack teeth.

Recommended grease
Multipurpose grease SAE J310a, NLGI #2 EP

Do not plug the vent hole in the rack with grease.

7. Insert the rack into the rack housing and install the rack bushing and rack stopper.

8. Push in the rack stopper until the circlip groove of the rack stopper is aligned with the notched hole of the rack

housing. Install the circlip while turning the rack stopper.

The circlip end should not be visible through the notched hole of the rack housing.

9. Using a special tool, install the oil seal and the ball bearing in the valve body housing.

10. After applying the specified fluid and grease to the pinion valve assembly, install it in the rack housing

assembly.

11. After applying the specified fluid to the oil seal, install it in the rack housing, and fix the valve body assembly

and O-ring in the gear box.

12. Install the tab washer and the tie rod and stake the tab washer end at two points over the tie rod.

13. Install the bushing, rack support yoke, rack support spring and yoke plug in the order shown in the

illustration. Apply semi-drying sealantto the threaded section of the yoke plug before installation.

14. With the rack placed in the center position, attach the yoke plug to the rack housing. Tighten the yoke plug to

12 Nm (120 kg·cm, 8.9 lb·ft), with a 14mm socket. Loosen the yoke plug approximately from 30° to 60°an d
tighten the yoke nut to the specified torque.

Tightening torque
50~70 Nm (500~700 kg·cm, 37~52 lb·ft)
