1. PRECAUTION (a) When handling the rack and pinion power steering gear assembly:
(1)
Do not subject the rack and pinion power steering gear assembly
(especially the motor and torque sensor) to any impact. Replace the rack
and pinion power steering gear assembly with a new one if subjected to a
strong impact. (2) Do not pull the wire harness when moving the rack and pinion power steering gear assembly.
(3) When the rack and pinion power steering gear assembly has been replaced, perform torque sensor zero point calibration.
Click here (b) When disconnecting or reconnecting the connectors:
(1)
Before disconnecting connectors related to the power steering system,
turn the power switch to ON, center the steering wheel, turn the power
switch off, and then disconnect the connectors. (2)
Before reconnecting connectors related to the power steering system,
ensure that the power switch is off. Then center the steering wheel and
turn the power switch to ON. NOTICE: Do not turn the power switch to ON when the steering wheel is not centered.
(3)
If the above operations are not carried out properly, the steering
center point (zero point) will deviate, which may lead to a difference
in steering effort between turning right and left. HINT: If there is a difference in steering effort between turning right and left, perform torque sensor zero point calibration.

3. SECURE STEERING WHEEL |
(a) Secure the steering wheel with the seat belt in order to prevent rotation.
HINT: This operation is useful to prevent damage to the spiral cable. |

| (a) Remove the bolt and slide the steering intermediate shaft assembly.
NOTICE: Do not separate the steering intermediate shaft assembly from the rack and pinion power steering gear assembly. |
|
(b) Put matchmarks on the rack and pinion power steering gear assembly and steering intermediate shaft assembly.
(c) Separate the steering intermediate shaft assembly from the rack and pinion power steering gear assembly.
10. SEPARATE TIE ROD ASSEMBLY LH
| (a) Remove the cotter pin and nut. | |
| (b) Install SST to the tie rod assembly LH as shown in the illustration.
SST: 09960-20010 09961-02060 NOTICE: Make sure that the upper ends of the tie rod assembly LH and SST are aligned. |
|
(c) Using SST, separate the tie rod assembly LH from the steering knuckle LH as shown in the illustration.

- | CAUTION: Apply molybdenum grease to the threads and end of the SST bolt.
NOTICE:
- Be sure to tighten the string firmly to secure SST to the steering knuckle LH to prevent SST from falling off.
- Install SST with the center nut so that (A) and (B) shown in the
illustration are parallel. Otherwise, the ball joint dust cover may be
damaged.
