Steering Gear: Inspection

  1. Check all components for damage or deterioration. Check for play in tie rod end ball joints. Check pinion teeth surfaces for wear or damage.
  2. Check rack for runout and excessive tooth wear. Runout must not exceed .016" (.41 mm). Inspect needle bearing and rack bushing for wear.
  3. If needle bearing requires replacement, use Bearing Remover (J-34839) to remove needle bearing from the housing.
  4. If rack bushing requires replacement, remove rack bushing retaining snap ring. Using Bushing Remover (J-34869), remove rack bushing from housing.
CAUTION: DO NOT pull rack bushing from housing while clamping housing in a vise. Use bushing remover, or housing tube may be separated from the rest of the housing.
NOTE: Coat all components with light coat of grease before installing.
