Steering Gear: Reassembly

  1. Reverse disassembly procedure.
  2. Coat all components with lubricant, then fill housing with gear lubricant using bolt hole opposite base plate.
  3. Use shims, as necessary, to adjust pinion axial play to zero.


  1. Mount bellows on housing. Screw bellows holder on eyebolt. Coat eyebolt threads and rack face end with sealer. Install eyebolts.
    CAUTION: Eyebolt must be installed in precise position to ensure free movement of steering components and exact guiding of track rod.
  2. Attach steering gear, without washers, to original holding tool (P 285b). Locating pins should slide easily into eyebolts, with flattened end resting against outer pin.
  3. Tighten bellows holder. Clamp bellows to gear assembly.
