STEERING GEAR TOTAL PINION
TORQUE CHECK

CAUTION

When holding the steering gear in a vice, secure
its mounting positions. If it is secured in any
other place, the gear housing may become
deformed or damaged.

AC000996 AC

MB991006

Using special tool preload socket (MB991006), rotate
the pinion gear at the rate of one rotation in approxi-
mately 4 to 6 seconds to check the total pinion
torque.

Standard value:

0.8

− 2.1 <Invite>

0.7

− 2.1 <Intense>

[Change in torque: 0.6 N

⋅ m or less]

NOTE: When measuring, remove the bellows from
the rack housing. Measure the pinion torque through
the whole stroke of the rack.
If the measured value is not within the standard
range, first adjust the rack support cover, and then
check the total pinion torque again.
If the total pinion torque cannot be adjusted to within
the standard range by adjusting the rack support
cover, check the rack support cover, rack support
spring, rack support and replace any parts if neces-
sary.

TIE ROD SWING RESISTANCE CHECK

1. Give 10 hard swings to the tie rod.

AC000997

2. Measure the tie rod swing resistance [tie rod

swing torque] with a spring balance.

Standard value: 8

− 27 N [1.5 − 4.9 N⋅ m]

3. If the measured value exceeds the standard

value, replace the tie rod.

4. If the measured value is below the standard value,

the tie rod can be re-used if it swings smoothly
without excessive play.

TIE ROD END BALL JOINT DUST COVER
CHECK

1. Check the dust cover for cracks or damage by

pushing it with your finger.

2. If the dust cover is cracked or damaged, replace

the tie rod end (Refer to

P.37-26

).

NOTE: Cracks or damage of the dust cover may
damage the ball joint. If it is damaged during serv-
ice work, replace the dust cover (Refer to

P.37-35

).
