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) (Figure 7-19, Page 7-10).
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 cor-
rect. Tighten the nut (8) to 28 ft-lb (38 N·m) (Figure 7-18, Page 7-9). See following NOTE.
NOTE: When the nut (8) is tightened, make sure the screw (7) adjustment does not change (Figure 7-18,
Page 7-9).
14. Install the two dust seal bellows (10) (Figure 7-9, Page 7-5).
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 (Figure 7-8, Page 7-5).
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 (Figure 7-7, Page 7-5). Nuts will be tightened during the toe-in adjustment procedure. See Toe-in
Measurement on page 7-11.
20. Install the rack and pinion assembly. See Rack and Pinion Installation on page 7-4.
