Tie Rod Assembly Note
- If the stopper is placed at the steering rack end, move the stopper in the direction of the arrow so that a wrench can be hooked to the steering rack end.
- Install the SST to the torque wrench as shown in the figure, set it on the tie rod, and measure dimensions A and L shown in the figure.
- Tighten the tie rod after calculating the tightening torque using the following formula.
Tightening torque
89-98 N.m {9.1-9.9 kgf.m, 66-72 ft.lbf}
Calculation formula
Tx (L/A)
T: Tightening torque (89-98 N.m {9.1-9.9 kgf.m, 66-72 ft.lbf})
L: Torque wrench effective length
A: Length from center of tie rod to grip
- Move the stopper at the steering rack to the tie rod end.
