INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT TIE ROD ASSEMBLY LH
|
(a) Secure the tie rod assembly LH in a vise. |
|
(b) Install the nut to the stud bolt.
(c) Flip the ball joint back and forth 5 times.
(d) Set a torque wrench to the nut, turn the ball joint continuously at a rate of 2 to 4 seconds per turn, and check the turning torque on the 5th turn.
Standard turning torque:
0.49 to 3.43 N*m (5.0 to 35.0 kgf*cm, 4.3 to 30.3 in.*lbf)
HINT:
If the turning torque is not within the specified range, replace the tie rod assembly LH.
2. INSPECT TIE ROD ASSEMBLY RH
HINT:
Perform the same procedure as for the LH side.
3. INSPECT TOTAL PRELOAD
|
(a) Using SST, secure the steering link assembly in a vise. SST: 09612-00012 Text in Illustration
HINT: Tape SST before use. |
|
|
(b) Using SST and a torque wrench, inspect the total preload. SST: 09616-00020 Standard preload: 0.7 to 1.0 N*m (7.0 to 10.7 kgf*cm, 5.8 to 9.2 in.*lbf) NOTICE: Inspect the total preload around the steering rack center position. HINT: If the total preload is not within the specified range, replace the steering gear assembly with a new one. |
