Steering Linkage
The left and right-hand tie-rod assemblies:
^ Transmit steering forces from the steering gear to the wheel hubs.
^ Provide front road wheel toe setting by adjustment of the threaded outer tie-rod ends.
NOTE: Steering geometry adjustments must only be carried out with the vehicle on turn plates to allow the wheels to move during adjustment.
The left and right-hand steering rack boots:
^ Are installed between the steering rack and the tie-rod ends.
^ Are of the concertina type.
^ Retain lubricant and prevent the ingress of foreign matter.
