Gear Box For Total Pinion Torque
Using the special tools, rotate the pinion gear at the rate of one rotation in approximately 4 to 6 seconds to check the total pinion torque.

From 0-90° 0.6-1.3 Nm (5-11 in/lbs.)
From 90°-650° 0.2-1.0 Nm (2-9 in/lbs.)

-
If the total pinion torque cannot be adjusted to within the standard range by adjusting the rack support cover, check the rack support cover, rack
support spring, rack support and replace any parts necessary.
