Adjusting Cover Assembly Note
- Set the rack to the center position.
- Install two nuts to the bolt across a flat 24 mm {0.94 in} and tighten them using a wrench.
- Assemble the adjusting cover with the bolt and nuts created in Step 1.
- Tighten the adjusting cover to 19.6 N.m {2.0 kgf.m, 15 ft.lbf} .
- Slide the rack back and forth 60 mm {2.4 in} three times.
- Retighten the adjusting cover to 19.6 N.m {2.0 kgf.m, 15 ft.1bf} .
- Loosen the adjusting cover 63° using the SST .
- Hold the adjusting cover so as not to rotate and tighten the locknut.
Tightening torque
40.0-58.0 N.m {4.08-5.91 kgf.m, 29.5-42.7 ft.lbf}
- Measure the pinion torque using the SST
and pull scale. (Measurement speed: 0.5-2.0 rpm
)
Pinion shaft rotation torque
Center of rack ±90°: 1.0-1.6 N.m {1-16 kgf.cm, 8.9-14 in.lbf}
[Pull scale reading: 9-13 N {1.0-1.3 kgf, 2.1-2.9 lbf}]
Except center of rack ±90°: Less than 1.68 N.m {17.1 kgf.cm, 14.8 in.lbf}
[Pull scale reading: Less than 13.8 N {1.4 kgf, 3.1 lbf}]
- If not within the specification, repeat Step 4 to 9.
