Tightening Torque
69—98 N·m {7.1—9.9 kgf·m, 51—72 ft·lbf}
Calculation formula
T×(L/A)
T: Tightening torque (69—98 N·m {7.1—9.9 kgf·m, 51—72 ft·lbf})
L: Torque wrench effective length
A: Length from center of tie rod to grip


Boot Band Assembly Note

1.  Assemble the boot band to the boot.

2.  Crimp the boot band using the SST.

3.  Verify that the crimping clearance A is within the specification.

Specification
2.5—3.0 mm {0.10—0.11 in}
•  If crimping clearance A exceeds the specification, reduce SST clearance, and crimp the boot band again.
•  If crimping clearance A is less than the specification, increase SST clearance, and crimp a new boot band.

4.  Rotate the by hand and verify that it is securely installed to the boot band.


Tie-rod End Assembly Note

1.  Align the alignment marks made before removal and assemble the tie-rod end to the tie rod.
