Tie Rod Assembly Note

1.  Install the SST to the torque wrench as shown in the figure, set it on the tie rod, and measure dimensions A and L shown in the figure.

2.  Tighten the tie rod after calculating the tightening torque using the following formula.

Tightening torque
100—110 N·m {10.2—11.2 kgf·m, 74—81 ft·lbf}
Calculation formula
T×(L/A)
T:Tightening torque (100—110 N·m {10.2—11.2 kgf·m, 74—81 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
1.5—2.5 mm {0.060—0.098 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 marks that were made before removing the tie-rod end, and assemble the tie-rod end to the tie rod.

Note
•  When newly replacing a tie-rod end, place alignment marks on the new part in the same position as the remove tie-rod end.

•  "R" is inscribed on the right side of the tie-rod end and "L" is inscribed on the left side of the tie-rod end. Verify if the part is for the left or right side before installation because the left and right parts of the tie-rod end have different shapes.

2.  Verify that dimension A shown in the figure is within the specification.

Specification
14.8—27.8 mm {0.59—1.09 in}
•  If not within the specification, make adjustments so that dimension A is within the specification.
