CAUTION: Before connecting the tie-rod ends, wipe off any grease contamination from the ball joint tapered section and threads. Torque the

18. Fill the system with the recommended power steering fluid, and bleed air from the system.

-
Start the engine, allow it to idle, and turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times to warm up the fluid. Check the gearbox for leaks.
-
Adjust the front toe.
-
Check the steering wheel spoke angle. Adjust by turning the right and left tie-rods, if necessary.
NOTE: Turn the right and left tie-rods equally.
