Steering: Service Precautions

Wheels and Tires Removal/Installation
1. The removal and installation procedures for the wheels and tires are not mentioned in this section. When a wheel is removed, tighten it to 108 - 147 Nm (11.0 - 14.9 kgf-m, 80 - 107 ft. lbs.).

Power Steering Components Removal/Installation
1. If any power steering fluid line has been disconnected anytime during the procedure, add ATF M-III or equivalent (e.g. Dexron(R)III/Mercon(R)) bleed the fluid lines, and inspect for leakage after the procedure has been completed.

Connectors Disconnection/Connection
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable before performing any work that requires handling of connectors. Reconnect the negative battery cable only after the work is completed.
