(b) Apply sealant to 2 or 3 threads of the rack guide 

spring cap.
Sealant:

Part No. 08833-00080, THREE BOND 1344, 
LOCTITE 242 or the equivalent

(c) Using a 24 mm hexagon wrench, temporarily install 

the spring cap.

7.

ADJUST TOTAL PRELOAD
(a) To prevent the steering rack teeth from damaging 

the lip of the oil seal, temporarily install the RH and 
LH rack ends.

(b) Using a 24 mm hexagon wrench, tighten the rack 

guide spring cap.
Torque: 25 N*m (250 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf)

(c) Loosen the cap 30

°.

(d) Using SST, turn the control valve shaft right and left 

1 or 2 times. The rack end will move in and out.

(e) Using a 24 mm hexagon wrench, loosen the cap 

until the rack guide spring does not function.

(f)

Using SST, a torque wrench and 24 mm hexagon 
wrench, tighten the cap until the preload is within 
the specification.

(k) Remove the RH and LH rack ends.

8.

INSPECT POWER STEERING RACK
(a) Insert a wire 20 mm (0.79 in.) into the vent hole of 

the steering rack, and ensure that the vent hole is 
not clogged with grease.
NOTICE:
If the hole is clogged, the pressure inside the 
boot will change after it is assembled and the 
steering wheel is turned.

9.

INSTALL STEERING RACK END SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Install 2 new claw washers onto the power steering 

rack while aligning the notch on the steering rack 
end with the claw.

(b) Temporarily install the 2 steering rack ends onto the 

power steering rack.

(c) Fill up the ball joint of the steering rack ends with 

MP grease.
