PRECAUTION
1. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS ON STEERING SYSTEM
(a) Care must be taken when replacing parts. Incorrect replacement may affect the performance of the
steering system and result in a driving hazard.
2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS ON SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM
(a) The vehicle is equipped with SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) such as the driver airbag and front
passenger airbag. Failure to carry out service operation in the correct sequence could cause the SRS
to unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to a serious accident. Before servicing (in-
cluding removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the precautionary
notice for the supplemental restraint system (See page 60–1 ).

(7) Convert the measured distance to steering angle.
Measured distance 1 mm (0.04 in.) = Steering angle
approximately 1 deg.
HINT:
Make a note of the steering angle.
(b) Adjust steering angle.
NOTICE:
The adjustment method for steering angle varies depend-
ing on the models. Check whether it is type A or B.
(1) Draw a line on the RH and LH tie rod and rack ends
where it can easily be seen.
(2) Using a paper gauge, measure the distance from
RH and LH tie rod ends to the rack end screws.
HINT:
Measure the RH side and LH side.
Marked Line
Make a note of the measured values.

(3) Remove the RH and LH boot clips from the rack
boots.
(4) Loosen the RH and LH lock nuts.
(5) Turn the RH and LH rack end by the same amount
(but in different directions) according to the steering
angle.
1 turn 360 deg. of rack end (1.5 mm (0.059 in.) horizon-
tal movement) – 12 deg. of steering angle.
(6) Tighten the RH and LH lock nuts by the specified
torque.
Torque: 74 N·m (750 kgf·cm, 54 ft
lbf)
NOTICE:
Make sure that the difference in length between RH and LH
tie rod ends and rack end screws are within 1.5 mm (0.059
in.).
(7) Install the RH and LH boot clips.
