(11) Bend back the retaining tabs on the mounting
plate for the tie rod to steering gear mounting bolts
(Fig. 30).
(12) Remove the bolts, mounting plate and washers
attaching the tie rods to the steering gear (Fig. 31). 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 2 nuts mounting the master cyl-
inder to the vacuum booster (Fig. 32).
(15) 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.
(16) 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.
(17) Remove the power steering fluid pressure
hose and return hose from the steering gear (Fig. 33).

(18) Remove the 2 bolts attaching the left side of
the steering gear to the crossmember (Fig. 34).
(19) Remove the 2 bolts attaching the steering
gears right side mounting bracket to the crossmem-
ber (Fig. 35).
(20) Move the steering gear to clear the pressure
and return lines.
(21) Remove the bolts mounting the power steer-
ing hoses to the left frame rail (Fig. 36).
(22) Raise vehicle.
(23) 300M only — The front fascia will require
removal to access the power steering cooler. See
Frames and Bumpers.
(24) Remove the power steering fluid return hose
from the power steering fluid cooler (Fig. 37). Let the
remaining power steering fluid drain out of the
return hose and the power steering fluid cooler.

(25) Lower the vehicle.
(26) Remove the power steering fluid hoses from
the vehicle. The power steering fluid hoses are
removable from the back of the engine compartment
(Fig. 38).
INSTALLATION - PRESSURE AND RETURN
HOSES
(1) Install the power steering hoses into the vehi-
cle using the reverse of the removal procedure.
(2) Raise the vehicle. (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/HOISTING - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE)
(3) Install the power steering fluid return hose on
the power steering fluid cooler (Fig. 37). Be sure the
hose clamp is installed past the upset bead on
the power steering fluid cooler.
(4) 300M only — Reinstall front fascia.
(5) Lower the vehicle until the tires are just clear
of the floor
(6) Install the power steering hoses onto the left
frame rail by installing the routing clip bolts (Fig.
36). Tighten the bolts to 10 N·m (89 in. lbs.).
(7) 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.
(8) Loosely install the bolts mounting the left side
of the steering gear to the crossmember (Fig. 34).
CAUTION: Tightening the steering gear to cross-
member mounting bolts to the proper torque is very
important.
(9) Install the bolts mounting the right side
mounting bracket for the steering gear to the cross-
member (Fig. 35). Tighten the mounting bolts to a
torque of 58 N·m (43 ft. lbs.).
(10) Tighten the bolts mounting the left side of the
steering gear to the crossmember (Fig. 34) to a
torque of 58 N·m (43 ft. lbs.).
(11) Attach power steering fluid, pressure and
return lines into proper ports of the steering gear
(Fig. 33). Tighten both power steering hose tube nuts
to a torque of 47 N·m (35 ft. lbs.).
CAUTION: Before installing tie rods on steering
gear be sure the tie rod spacer block inside the
steering gear bellows (Fig. 39) is correctly aligned
with the bolt holes in the rack of the steering gear
and the steering gear bellows.

(12) Align center take-off on steering gear with the
tie rod assemblies. Install tie rod attaching bolts and
washers into steering gear. Be sure washers are
installed between tie rods and steering gear
(Fig. 40). Tighten the tie rod-to-steering gear bolts to
a torque of 100 N·m (74 ft. lbs.).
CAUTION: After tie rod attaching bolts are torqued,
bend retaining plate tabs against heads of attaching
bolts (Fig. 30).
(13) Install the vacuum hose for the vacuum
booster on intake manifold vacuum port. Install hose
clamp on vacuum hose.
(14) Install the master cylinder on the vacuum
booster. Install the two nuts attaching the master
cylinder to the vacuum booster. Tighten the master
cylinder mounting nuts to a torque of 28 N·m (250 in.
lbs.).
(15) Remove the clamp from the steering wheel
(Fig. 28).
(16) Install the intermediate shaft onto the steer-
ing column shaft. Install steering column coupler
pinch bolt (Fig. 29) and tighten to a torque of 28 N·m
(21 ft. lbs.). Install the pinch bolt nut retaining pin in
pinch bolt.
(17) Install the cowl reinforcement on the vehicle
(Fig. 26). Install the eight bolts attaching the rein-
forcement to the strut towers. Install the bolt attach-
ing the wiper module to the reinforcement.

attaching screws.
(20) Install the wiper arms on the pivots (Fig. 24).
Install and securely tighten the wiper arm to pivot
attaching nuts. Install the caps on the wiper arms
covering the pivot nuts.
(21) Install the battery ground cable onto the
ground stud on the shock tower.
(22) Perform Power Steering Pump Initial Opera-
tion procedure. (Refer to 19 - STEERING/PUMP -
STANDARD PROCEDURE)

PROCEDURE)
RESERVOIR
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the 2.7 liter engine use a
power steering pump that has an integral reservoir
(Fig. 1). Vehicles equipped with the 3.5 liter engine
use a power steering pump that has a remotely
mounted reservoir (Fig. 41).
OPERATION
The power steering fluid reservoir stores fluid for
the power steering system.
