(3) Adjustment
① Install the pitman arm on the sector shaft. While
pushing and pulling the pitman arm with a force
of about 19.6 N {2 kgf} [4.4 lbf], measure the
backlash.
Backlash: Below 0.35 mm [0.0138 in.]
If not satised, take step that follows.
② Adjust the backlash by the adjustment screw at
the side cover. After the adjustment is complete,
tighten the lock nut.
Tightening torque: 19.6 to 29.4 N-m
{2 to 3 kgf-m}
[14.5 to 21.7 lbf-ft]
Note: Be sure to adjust it at the center of steering
angle.
③ By pushing and pulling the pitman arm, check
the operation.
④ Measure the worm shaft starting torque.
⑤ Fix the pitman arm as shown in Fig. 6.54.
