DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

RACK & PINION STEERING GEAR

DESCRIPTION

A rack and pinion steering gears (Fig. 1) is made

up of two main components, the pinon shaft and the
rack. The gear cannot be adjusted or internally ser-
viced. If a malfunction or a fluid leak occurs, the gear
must be replaced as an assembly. If a boot seal
becomes

damaged,

the

steering

gear

must

be

removed to replace the boot seal.

OPERATION

The steering column shaft is attached to the gear

pinion. The rotation of the pinion moves the gear
rack from side-to-side. This lateral action of the rack
pushes and pulls the tie rods to change the direction
of the front wheels.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

TIE ROD END

REMOVAL

(1) Raise and support the vehicle.
(2) Remove the nut from the tie rod end.
(3) Separate the tie rod end from the steering

knuckle with Puller C-3894-A.

(4) Loosen the jam nut (Fig. 2) and unthread the

tie rod end.

INSTALLATION

(1) Thread the tie rod end onto the tie rod.
(2) Clean the tie rod end stud and knuckle taper.
(3) Install the tie rod end stud into the steering

knuckle and tighten the nut to 108 N·m (80 ft. lbs.).

(4) Tighten the jam nut to 75 N·m (55 ft. lbs.).
