Install Inner Ball Joint
11. Insert a 3/8-inch, 1/4-drive deep-well socket into the steering column end of the universal joint (2), and tighten the
bolts (1) to 15 ft-lb (20.3 N·m)
.
12. Connect a torque wrench to the 3/8-inch deep-well socket, and measure the resistance of the rack and pinion.
Rotational resistance should measure 7 to 15 in-lb (0.8 to 1.7 N·m).
13. If the measured resistance is not 7 to 15 in-lb (0.8 to 1.7 N·m), adjust the screw (7) until the setting is correct.
Tighten the nut (8) to 28 ft-lb (38 N·m)
.
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
When the nut (8) is tightened, make sure the screw (7) adjustment does not change
.
14. Install the two dust seal bellows (10)
.
15. Secure the bellows with new bellows clamps or wire ties.
16. Apply a light coat of anti-seize lubricating compound to the inner ball joint threads to minimize corrosion.
17. Loosely install and advance the two nuts and drag links to the inner ball joint
. Nuts will be
tightened during the toe-in adjustment procedure.
See Toe-in Measurement on page 7-11.
18. Apply a light coat of anti-seize lubricating compound to the drag link threads.
19. Loosely install the two nuts and drag link ball joints. Advance the ball joints and nuts onto the drag link ends
. Nuts will be tightened during the toe-in adjustment procedure.
20. Install the rack and pinion assembly.
See Rack and Pinion Installation on page 7-4.
FRONT SUSPENSION
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-2.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Wheel alignment consists of adjusting the toe-in and camber of the front wheels.
page 7-11. Also see Camber Measurement on page 7-11.
Always adjust the toe-in first, and then adjust the
camber.
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
Before any front suspension adjustments are made, inspect components for wear or damage and repair or
replace as necessary.
