Installation

POWER STEERING: POWER STEERING LINK:

INSTALLATION

1. INSTALL POWER STEERING RACK HOUSING HEAT INSULATOR





(a) Install the power steering rack housing heat insulator to the power steering link assembly.
2. INSTALL POWER STEERING LINK ASSEMBLY





(a) Install the power steering link assembly with the 2 bolts and 2 nuts.
Torque: 70 Nm (714 kgf-cm, 52 ft-lbf)
3. CONNECT PRESSURE FEED TUBE ASSEMBLY





(a) Temporarily connect the pressure feed tube assembly to the power steering link assembly.





(b) Install the pressure feed tube assembly clamp with the 2 bolts.
Torque: 9.8 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 87 in-lbf)





(c) Using SST, tighten the pressure feed tube assembly (pressure feed tube side).
SST: 09023-12701
Without SST - Torque: 25 Nm (250 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf)
With SST - Torque: 22 Nm (227 kgf-cm, 16 ft-lbf)
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.81 in.).
- This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.





(d) Using SST, tighten the pressure feed tube assembly (return tube side).
SST: 09023-12701
Without SST - Torque: 25 Nm (250 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf)
With SST - Torque: 22 Nm (227 kgf-cm, 16 ft-lbf)
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.81 in.).
- This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.

4. INSTALL ENGINE ASSEMBLY WITH TRANSAXLE
HINT: Refer to the instructions for INSTALLATION of the ENGINE ASSEMBLY Installation.

5. CONNECT TIE ROD ASSEMBLY LH
(a) Connect the tie rod assembly LH to the steering knuckle with the nut.
Torque: 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft-lbf)
(b) Install a new cotter pin.
NOTE:
Tighten the nut further up to 60° if the holes for the cotter pin are not aligned.

6. CONNECT TIE ROD ASSEMBLY RH
HINT: Perform the same procedure as for the LH side.

7. CONNECT STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT ASSEMBLY





(a) Align the matchmarks on the steering intermediate shaft assembly and the steering link assembly.





(b) Install the bolt.
Torque: 35 Nm (360 kgf-cm, 26 ft-lbf)
8. INSTALL FRONT WHEELS
Torque: 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf)
9. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
10. BLEED POWER STEERING FLUID Service and Repair
11. CHECK POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL Power Steering System
12. INSPECT FOR POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK
13. INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK
14. PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD
15. INSPECT AND ADJUST FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
HINT: Front Wheel Alignment

16. PERFORM INITIALIZATION
NOTE:
Some systems need initialization after reconnecting the cable to the negative battery terminal Repair Instruction - Initialization.
