6.

INSTALL RACK GUIDE
(a) Install the rack guide and spring.
(b) Apply sealant to 2 or 3 threads of the rack guide

spring cap.
Sealant:

Part No. 08833-00080, THREE BOND 1344,
LOCTITE 242 or the equivalent

(c) Using a 24 mm hexagon wrench, temporarily install

the spring cap.

7.

ADJUST TOTAL PRELOAD
(a) To prevent the steering rack teeth from damaging

the lip of the oil seal, temporarily install the RH and
LH rack ends.

(b) Using a 24 mm hexagon wrench, tighten the rack

guide spring cap.
Torque: 25 N*m (250 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf)

(c) Loosen the cap 30

°.

(d) Using SST, turn the control valve shaft right and left

1 or 2 times. The rack end will move in and out.
SST

09616-00011

(e) Using a 24 mm hexagon wrench, loosen the cap

until the rack guide spring does not function.

(f)

Using SST, a torque wrench and 24 mm hexagon
wrench, tighten the cap until the preload is within
the specification.

with SST

NOTICE:
Rotate SST in the direction shown in the
illustration.
HINT:
Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345
mm (13.58 in.).

(j)

Using SST, recheck the total preload.

(k) Remove the RH and LH rack ends.

8.

INSPECT POWER STEERING RACK
(a) Insert a wire 20 mm (0.79 in.) into the vent hole of

the steering rack, and ensure that the vent hole is
not clogged with grease.
NOTICE:
If the hole is clogged, the pressure inside the
boot will change after it is assembled and the
steering wheel is turned.

9.

INSTALL STEERING RACK END SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Install 2 new claw washers onto the power steering

rack while aligning the notch on the steering rack
end with the claw.

(b) Temporarily install the 2 steering rack ends onto the

power steering rack.

(c) Fill up the ball joint of the steering rack ends with

MP grease.
