 Part 1 Of 2

 Part 2 Of 2

If a leak occurs between the tubing and the tube nut or is at O-ring, replace the hose assembly. If a leak occurs between the tube nut and the aluminum
gear housing, replace the seal. The following procedure should be used:
1. Remove the steering gear mounting bolts and lower the power rack and pinion steering gear to gain access to the fittings.
2. Check the fittings to determine which fitting is leaking and whether the leak is between the tube and tube nut or between tube nut and steering gear

housing.

3. Check to make sure the nuts are tightened to 27-34 Nm (20-25 ft. lbs.). Do not overtighten.
