Using special tool preload socket
(MB991006), rotate the pinion gear at the rate of one
rotation in approximately 4 to 6 seconds to check the total
pinion torque. Standard value: 0.6 -
2.0 N·m (Torque fluctuation: 0.4 N·m or
less)
note |
When measuring, remove the
bellows from the rack housing. Measure the
pinion torque through the whole stroke of the
rack. If the measured value is not within the
standard range, first adjust the rack support
cover, and then check the total pinion torque
again. 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 if necessary.
