Steering Gear: Service and Repair
Steering Gear - Installation
LEFT-HAND DRIVE
1. If necessary, install the outer tie rods onto the inner tie rod threads. As the outer tie rods are installed, count out same number rotations as were
counted on tie rod removal. This will get the toe setting somewhat close to specification before the vehicle is aligned at end of this procedure.
Snug the tie rod jam nuts on both ends of gear. Tighten the tie rod jam nuts to specification while performing the wheel alignment at end of this
procedure.
2. Carefully install the steering gear (1) through the left wheel opening using the reverse of how it was removed. Move it across the crossmember
until centered.
3. Tip the steering gear pinion shaft (3) straight up and install the dash seal (2) matching it to the contour of the steering gear housing.
