pinion housing.
NOTE: Use the same number of shims as that used when steering body assy was removed. If steering body assy, valve housing or pinion & valve
assy is replaced with a new one, add two or three shims, install valve assy on pinion housing and tighten with two bolts to 20-29 Nm (14-22 ft.
lbs.). Then, measure clearance between steering body assy and valve housing using a thickness gauge. Remove shims so that the clearance is zero.
c. Extend rack assy 75.9 mm (2.988 inch) beyond pinion side of steering body assy.
