suspension crossmember in position. Do not over-
tighten.
(5) Using a soft face hammer, tap front suspension
crossmember into position until it is aligned with
previously scribed positioning marks on body of vehi-
cle.
(6) Once front suspension crossmember is correctly
positioned, tighten two rear crossmember mounting
bolts to 163 N·m (120 ft. lbs.) torque. Then tighten
two front crossmember to frame rail attaching bolts
to 163 N·m (120 ft. lbs.) torque.
(7) Lower transmission jack.
(8) Connect fuel tube bundle routing support above
crossmember.
(9) Install brake tube routing bracket onto left
lower control arm rear mounting bolt threads.
(10) Install screws fastening power steering pres-
sure hose routing clamps to crossmember (Fig. 8).
Tighten screws to 45 N·m (33 ft. lbs.) torque.
(11) Position steering gear heat shield on cross-
member and install fasteners (Fig. 8).

(12) Install 3 bolts attaching rear engine mount to
crossmember (Fig. 7). If equipped, make sure
manual transmission bracket is positioned in
place before installing bolts (Fig. 7). Tighten
bolts to 65 N·m (48 ft. lbs.) torque.
(13) Loosely install two shock absorber clevis-to-
lower control arm thru-bolts and nuts (Fig. 6). Do not
tighten bolts at this time.
(14) Install tie rod seal boot heat shield on tie rod
end (Fig. 14).
(15) Install tie rod end into steering knuckle. Start
tie rod end-to-steering knuckle attaching nut onto tie
rod stud. While holding stud stationary, tighten nut.
To properly torque nut, use a crowfoot and socket as
shown and tighten nut to 55 N·m (40 ft. lbs.) torque
(Fig. 14).
(16) Install and tighten two stabilizer bar bushing
clamp-to-body attaching bolts to 61 N·m (45 ft. lbs.)
torque.
(17) Install fasteners attaching drive-belt splash
shield to crossmember.
CAUTION: When supporting lower control arm with
jack stand, do not position jack stand under the ball
joint cap on the lower control arm. Position in area
of lower control arm shown in (Fig. 15).
(18) Lower vehicle and support front end of vehicle
by positioning jack stands as shown at each lower
control arm as vehicle is lowered (Fig. 15). Continue
to lower vehicle until total front end weight is sup-
ported by jack stands.
(19) Tighten shock absorber clevis-to-lower control
arm bushing thru-bolts to a torque of 92 N·m (68 ft.
lbs.).
(20) Raise vehicle and remove jack stands.
(21) Install wheel and tire assemblies. Progres-
sively tighten wheel nuts in a criss-cross tightening
sequence to 135 N·m (100 ft. lbs.) torque.
CAUTION: Before connecting the steering column
intermediate shaft coupler to the steering gear
shaft, position the front wheels STRAIGHT-AHEAD.
The steering wheel must also be in the centered
position.
(22) Under instrument panel, align splines inside
intermediate shaft lower coupling with splines on
steering gear shaft and slide intermediate shaft onto
steering gear. Install a NEW coupling pinch bolt (Fig.
3) and tighten it to a torque of 44 N·m (32 ft. lbs.).
(23) Remove steering wheel holder.
(24) Install remote battery ground cable on ground
stud located on left shock tower.
(25) Fill power steering pump fluid reservoir to
proper level and perform Power Steering Pump Ini-
tial Operation standard procedure. (Refer to 19 -
STEERING/PUMP - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
(26) Check for leaks.
(27) Lower vehicle.
(28) Check front wheel alignment and adjust toe
setting (Refer to 2 - SUSPENSION/WHEEL ALIGN-
MENT - STANDARD PROCEDURE). Tighten tie rod
jam nuts to 74 N·m (55 ft. lbs.) torque.

POWER STEERING PRESSURE
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with a 2.0L four cylinder
engine, a power steering pressure switch (Fig. 16) is
used to improve the vehicle’s idle quality when
required (Other four cylinder engine models use a
virtual power steering switch (VPSS) built into the
vehicle’s electronics). When a demand for power
assist is put on the power steering system at idle,
pump pressure puts additional load on the engine,
thus decreasing engine idle speed. The pressure
switch improves vehicle idle quality by maintaining
the required engine idle speed when the pressure
rises in the power steering system.
The power steering pressure switch is mounted
directly to the power steering gear (Fig. 16).
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Be sure cable is isolated from negative post on bat-
tery.
(2) Raise vehicle.
(3) Locate power steering pressure switch on back
side of power steering gear (Fig. 16).
(4) Remove the wiring harness connector from the
power steering pressure switch.
(5) Using a crow foot and long extension, remove
power steering pressure switch, from power steering
gear.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: When tightening the power steering
pressure switch after installation in steering gear,
do not exceed the torque specification shown in
step 1 below. Over-tightening may result in strip-
ping the threads out of the pressure switch port on
the steering gear.
(1) Install power steering pressure switch into
power steering gear by hand until fully seated. Then
using a crow foot and extension, tighten power steer-
ing pressure switch to 16 N·m (12 ft. lbs.) torque.
(2) Install wiring harness connector on power
steering pressure switch (Fig. 16). Be sure latch on
wiring harness connector is fully engaged with lock-
ing tab on power steering pressure switch.
(3) Fill power steering reservoir to correct fluid
level.
(4) Connect negative cable back on negative post of
battery.
(5) Start engine and turn steering wheel several
times from stop to stop to bleed air from fluid in sys-
tem. Stop engine, check fluid level, and inspect sys-
tem for leaks.
TIE ROD - OUTER
REMOVAL
(1) Raise vehicle. (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/HOISTING - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE)
(2) Remove wheel and tire assembly.
(3) Loosen inner tie rod-to-outer tie rod jam nut
(Fig. 17).
