ENGINE SPEED SENSING POWER STEERING
5. Measure the pinion torque using the SST and a
pull scale.
Standard
Center of rack ± ± ± ± 90° ° ° °
0.8—1.2 N·m
{8.2—12.2 kgf·cm, 5.8—8.8 in·lbf}
[Pull scale reading
8—12 N {0.9—1.2 kgf, 1.8—2.6 lbf}]
Ecept center of rack ± ± ± ± 90° ° ° °
Less than 1.6 N·m
{16.3 kgf·cm, 11.8 in·lbf}
[Pull scale reading
Less than 16.7 N {1.7 kgf, 3.8 lbf}]
6. If not as specified, repeat steps 2 through 5.
7. Install the locknut using the SST (49 B032 320).
Tightening torque
40—49 N·m {4.1—4.9 kgf·m, 30—36 ft·lbf}
Hermetic sealing inspection
1. Connect the SSTs to the power cylinder section of the gear housing.
2. Apply 53.3 kPa {400 mmHg, 15.7 inHg} vacuum
with a vacuum pump and verify that it is held for at
least 30 seconds.
3. If the vacuum is not held, replace the oil seal.
