GENERAL INFORMATION
STEERING GEAR
The power steering gear in this vehicle should
NOT be serviced or adjusted. If a malfunction or a
leak occurs, the complete steering gear should be
replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
OUTER TIE ROD SOCKET END PLAY
MEASUREMENT
NOTE: When measuring tie rod socket end play the
total weight of the vehicle must be supported by
the tires and suspension of the vehicle. Do not sup-
port the vehicle by other then a drive on hoist or an
alignment rack.
(1) Position the vehicle on a drive on hoist or an
alignment rack so that the tires are supporting the
total weight of the vehicle.
(2) Raise hoist or alignment rack so that the tie
rod is positioned at eye level.
(3) Mount a dial indicator to the front strut assem-
bly (Fig. 1).
(4) Install a U-bolt having an inside dimension of
2 inches and a length of 3 inches (minimum) on the
tie rod end and steering arm of strut as shown in
(Fig. 1). Hand tighten nuts on U-bolt enough to just
hold U-bolt in place.
(5) Position dial indicator in center of tie rod as
shown in (Fig. 1). Zero the dial indicator gauge.
(6) Equally tighten both nuts on the U-bolt until a
torque of 2.7 N·m (24 in. lbs.) is achieved on each
nut. Listed is the allowable tie rod socket end play.
New ball joint end play should not be greater then
0.100 inches. Ball joint in service end play should not
be greater then 0.190.
(7) If end play for a ball joint in service is greater
then the specification listed in Step 6 the ball joint
will require replacement.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
STEERING GEAR
REMOVE
(1) Remove the battery ground cable from the
ground stud on the shock tower and isolate the
ground cable by installing the cable isolator on the
ground stud (Fig. 2).
(2) Position the front tires of the vehicle so that
they are facing straight ahead.
(3) Raise the vehicle on a frame contact type hoist
until the front tires of the vehicle are just off the
floor. See Hoisting in the Lubrication and Mainte-
nance section of this manual for the required lifting
procedure to be used for this vehicle.

(4) Remove caps from both wiper arms at the
attachment to the pivots to expose the wiper arm
attaching nut. Remove the nut (Fig. 3) attaching
each wiper arm to its pivot.
(5) Remove the wiper arms from the pivots. Wiper
arms are removed from the pivots by rocking them
back and force on the pivots until they can be pulled
off the pivots.
(6) Remove the wiper module cover and cowl cover
(Fig. 4) from the vehicle.
(7) Remove the 8 bolts, attaching the reinforce-
ment (Fig. 5) to the strut towers and the 1 bolt (Fig.
5) attaching the wiper module to the reinforcement.
Remove the reinforcement from the vehicle.
(8) Remove the in-line resonator and inlet hose
(Fig. 6) from the throttle body and air let hose com-
ing from the lid of the air cleaner housing.
NOTE: When locking the steering wheel, the front
tires of the vehicle are to be facing straight ahead.
(9) Using a steering wheel holding clamp, (Fig. 7)
lock the steering wheel from rotating.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)
CAUTION: Before removing the steering column
coupler from the intermediated steering shaft be
sure the steering wheel is locked from rotating (Fig.
7). If the steering wheel is allowed to rotate freely
after it is disconnected from the intermediated
shaft, the clockspring will be damaged and will
need to be replaced.
(10) Remove the retaining pin and the coupler bolt
from the steering column coupler (Fig. 8). Separate
the intermediate steering shaft from the steering col-
umn coupler.
(11) Bend back the retaining tabs on the mounting
plate for the tie rod to steering gear mounting bolts
(Fig. 9).
(12) Remove the bolts, mounting plate and wash-
ers (Fig. 10) attaching the tie rods to the steering
gear. Lay the tie rods on top of the transaxle bell
housing.
NOTE: The following step should be done to pre-
vent excessive spilling of power steering fluid when
the power steering fluid lines are removed from the
steering gear.
(13) Using a siphon pump, remove as much power
steering fluid as possible from the power steering
fluid reservoir.
(14) Remove the power steering fluid pressure
hose and return hose (Fig. 11) from the steering gear.
(15) If the steering gear being removed from the
vehicle is a speed proportional steering gear, discon-
nect the wiring harness connector from the solenoid
control valve electrical connector located on the steer-
ing gear end cap below the brake master cylinder.
(Fig. 12).
(16) Remove the 2 nuts (Fig. 13) mounting the
master cylinder to the vacuum booster.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)
(17) Remove the master cylinder with the brake
tubes connected, from the vacuum booster. Carefully
position the master cylinder in an upright position on
the left side valve cover of the engine.
(18) Remove the vacuum supply hose to the vac-
uum booster at the check valve in the vacuum
booster. Position the vacuum hose out of the way.
(19) Remove the 2 bolts attaching the left side of
the steering gear to the crossmember (Fig. 14).
(20) Remove the 2 bolts attaching the steering
gears right side mounting bracket (Fig. 15) to the
crossmember.
NOTE: It may be necessary to loosen the 2 mount-
ing bolts (Fig. 16) attaching the right mounting
bracket to the steering gear in order to clear the air
conditioning lines.
(21) Slide steering gear and intermediate shaft for-
ward into the engine compartment to allow access to
