WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Scion tC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

INSTALL POWER STEERING LINK ASSEMBLY
1. Using SST, install the left turn pressure tube to the steering link assembly.
  SST 09023-38201
  
  Torque: 22 N*m (224 kgf*cm, 16 ft.*lbf)
  
  HINT:
  - Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.81 in.).
  - This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.

2. Using SST, install the right turn pressure tube to the steering link assembly.
  SST 09023-38201
  
  Torque: 22 N*m (224 kgf*cm, 16 ft.*lbf)
  
  HINT:
  - Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.81 in.).
  - This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.
3. Install the power steering link assembly with the 4 bolts and 4 nuts.
  Torque: 49 N*m (500 kgf*cm, 36 ft.*lbf)
  
  NOTE: Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Torque the bolt with the nut fixed.
