Installation [12/2017 - 10/2023]: Procedure
- INSTALL STEERING SLIDING WITH SHAFT YOKE SUB-ASSEMBLY
- HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR STEERING ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY NOTE:
- Make sure that the seal lip and boot do not turn outward while carrying or installing the steering actuator assembly.
- If installing a new steering actuator assembly, make sure that the spiral center lock pin is securely inserted.
- Do not use the steering actuator assembly if it has been dropped.
*a Spiral Case *b Sliding Yoke *c Actuator Clamp (Not tightened to new part) *d Boot *e Seal Lip - - - INSTALL STEERING ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
- If installing a new steering actuator assembly
- If reinstalling the removed steering actuator assembly
- Make sure that the front wheels are facing straight ahead.
*a Slit *b Alignment Mark *c Sliding Yoke *d White Paint - Slowly turn the spiral case clockwise until it locks.
- Turn the spiral case two turns counterclockwise from the locked position.
- Align the slit of the sliding yoke with the alignment mark (←).
- Install the steering actuator assembly with the white paint on the surface of the spiral case facing downward.
- Align the matchmarks on the steering actuator assembly and the No. 1 steering column hole cover sub-assembly.NOTE:
Do not turn the actuator body or spiral case.
*a Matchmark
- Make sure that the front wheels are facing straight ahead.
- Tighten the clamp.
- Connect the connector to the steering actuator assembly and move the lock as shown in the illustration.NOTE:
Push up the lever until the claw of the steering actuator connector makes a connection sound.
- If installing a new steering actuator assembly
- CONNECT STEERING SLIDING WITH SHAFT YOKE SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Install the steering sliding with shaft yoke sub-assembly to the rack and pinion power steering gear assembly.NOTE:
Align the matchmarks on the steering sliding with shaft yoke sub-assembly and rack and pinion power steering gear assembly.
*a Matchmark - iUsing a SST and 12 mm union nut wrench, install the bolt (B).
- SST: 09961-00950
Specified tightening torque
Torque: 35.3 N.m (360 kgf/cm, 26 ft.lbf)
*a Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length HINT:
- Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.
Refer to PRECAUTION [12/2017 - 10/2020] , or refer to PRECAUTION [10/2020 - 10/2023]
- When using a union nut wrench (fulcrum length of 20 mm (0.787 in.)) + SST (fulcrum length of 150 mm (5.906 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 180 mm (7.087 in.)): 18.2 N.m (186 kgf/cm, 13 ft.lbf)
- Tighten the bolt (A).
Torque: 35.3 N.m (360 kgf/cm, 26 ft.lbf)
- Install the steering sliding with shaft yoke sub-assembly to the rack and pinion power steering gear assembly.
- INSTALL STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY
Refer to INSTALLATION [12/2017 - 09/2019] , or refer to INSTALLATION [09/2019 - 10/2020] , or refer to INSTALLATION [10/2020 - 10/2023]
- PERFORM VARIABLE GEAR RATIO STEERING SYSTEM CALIBRATION
Refer to CALIBRATION [12/2017 - 10/2023]
