Titan 2WD V8-5.6L (VK56) (2004)
9. Install rear cover to gear housing assembly using Tool.
Tool number: - (J-46213)
10. Make sure projection on rear cover cap aligns with mark on gear housing assembly
11. Apply thread locking sealant to the thread of the adjusting screw. Then set adjusting screw height from gear housing assembly. The adjusting
screw height is the same as it was measured previously
12. Rotate pinion ten times through entire rack range to seat gears and to check operation.
13. With steering gear in neutral position, measure pinion rotating torque using Tool from within -180° to +180°, while applying and holding
maximum torque to pinion gear
Tool number: ST3127 S000 (J25765-A), KV48103400 ( - )
14. After loosening adjusting screw once, tighten it again with torque of 5.4 Nm (0.55 kgf-cm, 48 inch lbs.). Then within 20° - 40°.
15. Measure pinion rotating torque using Tool, then confirm whether the reading is within the specified value. If the reading is not within the specified
value, readjust screw angle with adjusting screw. If the reading is still not within the specified value or the rotating torque of adjusting screw is less
than 5 Nm (0.51 kgf-cm, 44 inch lbs.), replace the steering gear assembly.
Pinion rotating torque: Around neutral position (within ± 100°)
Average "A": 0.8 - 2.0 Nm (0.09 - 0.20 kgf-cm, 7 - 17 inch lbs.)
Other than above (more than ±100°)
Maximum variation "B": 2.3 Nm (0.23 kgf-cm, 20 inch lbs.),
16. Turn pinion to the full left lock position with inner socket to gear housing assembly.
