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-adjustment procedure.
See Wheel Alignment on page 7-10.
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-adjustment procedure.
20. Install the rack and pinion assembly.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
CAUTION
• These vehicles historically have used a toe-in setting. At S/N 1309-347765, a change in front
suspension components resulted in vehicles requiring toe-out unless the steering damper accessory
is installed. All vehicles equipped with a steering damper must use a toe-in setting.
