31. Rotate the input shaft to its center of travel (approximately 1.5 turns from either stop). Place the torque wrench on the input shaft with the handle
in the vertical position. Rotate the torque wrench slowly and evenly one-quarter turn (90 degrees) from each side of center. This torque reading is
the on-center torque.
-
Record the torque measured on or near center.
32. NOTE: The on-center torque must be 1.01-1.47 Nm (9-13 lb-in) greater than preload torque without exceeding a total of 2.32 Nm (20.5 lb-in).
The on-center torque minus the preload torque is the meshload torque.
If necessary, carry out the following steps to adjust the on-center torque.
33. NOTE: Rotate the meshload adjusting screw clockwise to increase the on-center torque and counterclockwise to decrease the on-center torque.
Rotate the meshload adjusting screw until the on-center and meshload torque readings fall within the specified values.
34. While holding the meshload adjusting screw, tighten the meshload adjusting screw locknut to 31 Nm (23 lb-ft).
35. Install the meshload adjusting screw jam nut.
-
Tighten to 17 Nm (150 lb-in).
36. Install the steering gear. For additional information, refer to Steering Gear - 5.4L, 6.8L See: Removal and Replacement or Steering Gear - 6.4L
