Preload Adjustment

  1. Install preload piston spring and adjusting nut in housing. Place steering rack in center position. Tighten nut to 3.7-4.1 ft. lbs. (5.0-5.6 N.m) using Adapter (5296 ) and Torque Gauge (9177 ). Loosen adjusting nut 50-55 degrees.
  2. Using Adapter (5179 ) and Torque Gauge (9177 ), ensure turning torque of pinion shaft is 9-18 INCH lbs. (1.0-2.0 N.m). If torque exceeds specification in any position, stop rack in that position. Readjust rack in high position.
  3. If turning torque is still more than specification, install new steering gear. If turning torque is okay, use a punch to stake lock nut to valve housing.
