NOTE
• Some parts in the power steering gear case cannot be disassembled or adjusted. For detailed
information, refer to the description of "Steering Gear Case Construction: ".
• All steering gear fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of
vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one
of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a
replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified
during reassembly to assure proper retention of these parts.
• Although the figures in this section show only the left-hand steering vehicle, the same work
procedure and data apply to the right-hand steering vehicle.
