(28) Remove the tie rod end from the steering arm of
the strut using Puller, Special Tool C-3894–A (Fig. 20).
(29) Remove the tie rod from the vehicle.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with a 2.7 liter engine,
rotate the front of the left front tire/wheel as far outward
as possible (Fig. 21). This is necessary to have the
required clearance to allow the removal of the steering
gear from a vehicle with this engine application.
(30) Remove the steering gear from the vehicle
using the following steps.
(a) Slide the end of the steering gear through
the tie rod hole in the right side inner fender (Fig.
22). Steering gear needs to be slid through tie rod
hole until about half of the steering gear is through
the hole (Fig. 22).
(b) Lift the left end of the steering gear upward ,
with
the
steering
gear
positioned
as
shown,
between the back of the engine and the front of the
cowl (Fig. 23).
(c) To remove the steering gear from the vehicle,
pull the steering gear toward the passenger side of
the vehicle out from between the cowl and the
engine.

DISASSEMBLY - POWER STEERING GEAR
(HOUSING BUSHINGS)
The power steering gear must be removed from the
vehicle for the bushings to be serviced. Refer to
REMOVAL in this section.
(1) Install the Receiver, Special Tool 8523-2, into
the cup of the Ball Joint Press, Special Tool C-4212F,
and tighten the set screw. Install the Driver, Special
Tool 8523-1, on the tip of the Ball Joint Press screw
drive.
(2) Place the power steering gear housing against
the Receiver (Fig. 24). Tighten the screw drive until
the Driver contacts the outer circumference of the
bushing evenly (Fig. 24). Continue to tighten the
screw drive until the bushing is pressed completely
out of the steering gear housing.
(3) Back off the screw drive and remove the power
steering gear from the Receiver.
(4) Repeat the above procedure on the other power
steering gear housing bushing.
ASSEMBLY- POWER STEERING GEAR
(HOUSING BUSHINGS)
(1) Install the Receiver, Special Tool 8523-2, into
the cup of the Ball Joint Press, Special Tool C-4212F,
and tighten the set screw. Install the Driver, Special
Tool 8523-1, on the tip of the Ball Joint Press screw
drive.
(2) Place the steering gear housing against the
Receiver in a way that the Receiver does not come in
contact with the support ribs on the gear housing
(Fig. 25). Start the bushing in the bottom of the
housing and tighten the screw drive until the Driver
contacts the bushing retainer washer (Fig. 25).
Slowly tighten the screw drive until the bushing bot-
toms in the recessed area of the steering gear hous-
ing.
(3) Back off the Ball Joint Press screw drive and
remove the power steering gear from the press.
(4) Repeat the above procedure on the other power
steering gear housing bushing.
INSTALLATION - POWER STEERING GEAR
NOTE: When the original or a replacement steering
gear is being installed in vehicle, be sure the tie rod
attachment at the steering gear is in the center of
steering gear travel.
(1) Install the steering gear in the vehicle using
the reverse sequence of the removal steps.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with a 2.7 Liter
engine, position the left front tire so it is facing
straight forward.
(2) Install the right tie rod through the tie rod hole
in the inner fender.
(3) Install the outer tie rod on the steering arm of
the right strut. Install the tie rod to steering arm
attaching nut (Fig. 19). Tighten the attaching nut to
a torque of 37 N·m (27 ft. lbs.).
(4) Install the right side tire/wheel.
(5) Install and tighten wheel mounting stud nuts
in proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half
specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence to
the full specified torque of 135 N·m (100 ft. lbs.).
(6) Lower the vehicle until the front tires are just
clear of the floor.
(7) Install the intermediate steering shaft on the
steering gear.

(8) Using roll pin Installer, Special Tool 6831A,
install the roll pin in the flex joint of the intermedi-
ate shaft (Fig. 26). Roll pin is installed in coupler
using the following procedure:
(a) Remove knurled nut from small end of tool.
(b) Insert small end of removal tool through cen-
ter of roll pin and then install and hand tighten
knurled nut.
(c) Position sleeve of removal tool on flex joint as
shown (Fig. 26).
(d) While holding threaded shaft of tool from
turning, tighten nut pulling roll pin into flex joint.
(e) Center roll pin in flex joint. Do not over-in-
stall roll pin.
(9) Slide steering gear and intermediate shaft back
into dash panel sealing boot. Align the steering gear
mounting holes with its mounting holes in crossmem-
ber.
(10) Loosely install the bolts mounting the left side
of the steering gear to the crossmember (Fig. 15).
CAUTION: Tightening the steering gear to cross-
member mounting bolts to the proper torque is very
important.
(11) Install the bolts mounting the right side
mounting bracket for the steering gear to the cross-
member (Fig. 16). Tighten the mounting bolts to a
torque of 58 N·m (43 ft. lbs.).
(12) Tighten the bolts mounting the left side of the
steering gear to the crossmember to a torque of 58
N·m (43 ft. lbs.).
(13) If
previously
loosened,
tighten
the
bolts
mounting the steering gear mounting bracket to the
right side of the steering gear (Fig. 17) to a torque of
37 N·m (27 ft. lbs.).
CAUTION: Before installing tie rods on steering
gear be sure the tie rod spacer block inside the
steering gear bellows (boot) (Fig. 27) is correctly
aligned with the bolt holes in the rack of the steer-
ing gear and the steering gear bellows.
(14) Attach power steering fluid pressure, and
return lines into proper ports of the steering gear
(Fig. 14). Tighten both power steering hose tube nuts
to a torque of 47 N·m (35 ft. lbs.).
(15) If equipped with speed proportional steering,
connect the wiring harness connector to the solenoid
control valve electrical connector (Fig. 10).
