Toyota 4Runner: Reassembly

REASSEMBLY

PROCEDURE

1. INSTALL STEERING RACK END SUB-ASSEMBLY

(a) Temporarily install the 2 steering rack ends to the steering rack.

(b) Fill up the ball joints of the steering rack ends with MP grease.

(c) Using SST, install the steering rack end (RH side) to the steering rack. SST: 09922-10010 Torque: without SST : 105 N·m {1071 kgf·cm, 77 ft·lbf} with SST : 77 N·m {784 kgf·cm, 57 ft·lbf} Text in Illustration *A LH Side *B RH Side *a Hold *b Turn HINT: Rotate SST in the direction shown in the illustration. Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 400 mm (15.75 in.).

(d) Using SST and a wrench, install the steering rack end (LH side) to the steering rack.

SST: 09922-10010

Torque:

without SST :

105 N·m {1071 kgf·cm, 77 ft·lbf}

with SST :

77 N·m {784 kgf·cm, 57 ft·lbf}

2. INSTALL NO. 2 STEERING RACK BOOT

(a) Apply silicon grease to the inside of the small opening of the boot.

(b) Install the 2 boots to the groove on the rack housing.

3. INSTALL NO. 1 STEERING RACK BOOT

HINT:

7. INSTALL STEERING RACK BOOT CLIP LH

HINT:

Use the same procedures described for the RH side.

8. INSTALL STEERING GEAR OUTLET RETURN TUBE

(a) Using a union nut wrench, install the return tube to the steering gear.

Torque:

25 N·m {255 kgf·cm, 18 ft·lbf}

HINT:

Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a union nut wrench is combined with a torque wrench (See page ).

9. INSTALL TURN PRESSURE TUBE

(a) Apply steering fluid to 2 new O-rings. Using a union nut wrench, install the 2 O-rings and turn pressure tube LH.

Torque:

13 N·m {127 kgf·cm, 9 ft·lbf}

HINT:

Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a union nut wrench is combined with a torque wrench (See page ).

(b) Apply steering fluid to 2 new O-rings. Using a union nut wrench, install the 2 O-rings and turn pressure tube RH.

Torque:

13 N·m {127 kgf·cm, 9 ft·lbf}

HINT:

Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a union nut wrench is combined with a torque wrench (See page ).

10. INSTALL TIE ROD END SUB-ASSEMBLY LH

(a) Align the matchmarks of the tie rod and rack end, and temporarily install the tie rod with the lock nut.

HINT:

After adjusting toe-in, tighten the lock nut.
