1. Place the disassembling stand under the transmission case. 2. Remove the bumper. 3. Remove the tie-rods with the tie-rod end lifter. In this case, take special case not to damage the tie-rod end nut (slotted nut). (It is preferable to replace it with an unrequired nut.). 4. Reinstall the bumper. IMPORTANT •… Read More »
1. Remove the support (3) mounting screw. 2. Remove the screw (2). 3. Remove the joint shaft (1). (When reassembling) • Lift the universal joint so that there should be a clearance (A) of more than 5 mm (0.2 in.) between the universal joint and flywheel housing. Then fit the support (3)… Read More »
1. Disconnect the power steering delivery pipe joint bolt. 2. Install the power steering pump adaptor (refer to “SPECIAL TOOLS” (see page G-55)) instead of joint bolt, and set a thread joint, cable and hydraulic pressure gauge. 3. Start the engine and set the engine speed at max. speed. 4. Fully… Read More »
1. Turn the front wheels straight ahead. 2. Rotate the steering wheel lightly by hand, and measure the play (A). 3. If the play (A) is not within the factory specifications, turn the adjusting screw (1) to adjust. (Adjusting) • Remove the battery. • Loosen the lock nut (2) and turn the adjusting screw (1)… Read More »
Tightening torques of screws, bolts and nuts on the table below are especially specified.
Let’s suppose that the hydraulic system gets in trouble due to a defective pump, damaged pipe or the like and that the steering resistance is too high to use the power steering system. In such case, the steering wheel can be in the manual mode. When the steering wheel is turned, the torsion bar is… Read More »
The operating principle is the same as with the left turn. For the right turn, however, the gap between the input shaft (1) and sleeve (3) is in the direction opposite to that of left turn. By so doing, the cylinder’s chamber “b” comes under high pressure and the ball nut (4) is moved to… Read More »
When the steering wheel is turned left, the initial friction between the tires and the road surface keeps the ball nut (4) and sector shaft (6) in their positions. The torsion bar (2) alone is twisted to produce a gap between the input shaft (1) and sleeve (3) and to activate the valve. By so… Read More »
