RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY

1. Install a new tab washer (4) and an inner ball joint (3) (Figure 9-11, Page 9-9). Install the ball joint onto
the rack by securing the rack in a vise using wood blocks between the rack and the jaws of the vise to
protect the rack from damage. Tighten the ball joint to 60 ft-lb (81 N·m).
2. Bend the edges of the tab washer (4) up against the ball joint (3) (Figure 9-11, Page 9-9).
3. Apply a light coating of EP grease to the teeth of the rack (17), then slide the rack through the bushing
(5) and housing (6). Install the stop washer (18) and retaining ring (19) to the end of the rack
(Figure 9-12, Page 9-10).
