211-02-11 Power Steering 211-02-11 28. CAUTION: A new meshload adjusting screw locknut must be installed or a fluid leak at the meshload adjusting screw may occur. NOTE: The meshload adjusting screw locknut will be tightened during the steering gear meshload adjustment. Do not tighten the locknut at this time. Loosely install the meshload adjusting screw locknut. 31. Rotate the input shaft to its center of travel (approximately 1.5 turns from either stop). Place the torque wrench on the input shaft with the handle in the vertical position. Rotate the torque wrench slowly and evenly 1/4 turn (90 degrees) from each side of center. This torque reading is the on-center torque. Record the torque measured on or near center. 29. Rotate the input shaft to the left stop and then back-off approximately 45 degrees. 30. Using a dial or digital torque wrench and a crow s foot wrench, slowly and evenly rotate the input shaft clockwise 1/2 turn (180 degrees), starting from the 45 degree position. This torque reading is the preload torque. 32. NOTE: The on-center torque must be 0.28-0.79 Nm (2.5-7 lb-in) greater than preload torque without exceeding a total of 2.15 Nm (19 lb-in). The on-center torque minus the preload torque is the meshload torque. If necessary, carry out the following steps to adjust the on-center torque. 33. NOTE: Rotate the meshload adjusting screw clockwise to increase the on-center torque and Record the preload torque. counterclockwise to decrease the on-center The preload torque must be within 0.34-1.36 torque. Nm (3-12 lb-in). Rotate the meshload adjusting screw until the on-center and meshload torque readings fall within the specified values.
