7. Install the internal snap ring (11) (Figure 7-8, Page 7-9).
8. Using a socket to apply pressure evenly, press in a new dust seal (Figure 7-12, Page 7-12).
9. Apply a small amount of grease to the rack guide (13) where it comes into contact with the rack (17)
(Figure 7-8, Page 7-9).
10. Place a few drops of Loctite
11. Install the rack guide (13), pressure spring (14), and screw (16). The screw should be threaded in until
a rotational torque of 10 in-lb (1.13 N·m) is achieved (Figure 7-8, Page 7-9).
11.1. Reposition the rack and pinion in a vise.
11.2. Insert a 3/8-inch deep well socket into the steering column end of the universal joint (2) and tighten
the bolt (1) to 15 ft-lb (20.3 N·m) (Figure 7-14, Page 7-12).
11.3. Use a torque wrench connected to the 3/8-inch deep well socket to measure the resistance of the
rack and pinion. Rotational resistance should measure 7 to 15 in-lb (0.8 to 1.7 N·m).
11.4. If measured resistance does not equal 7 to 15 in-lb, loosen the lock nut (15) and tighten the screw
(16) until it bottoms out, then back the screw off one quarter turn. Tighten the lock nut to 28 ft-lb (38
N·m) (Figure 7-13, Page 7-12). See following NOTE.
