   • SST: 09922-10010 

   without SST 

   Torque: 105 N*m (1071 kgf*cm, 77 ft.*lbf) 

   with SST 

   Torque: 77 N*m (783 kgf*cm, 57 ft.*lbf) 

   NOTE:

   • Be sure to rotate SST in the correct direction.
   • Be sure to keep the steering rack fixed in place with SST.

   HINT: 

   • This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.
   • This torque value can be obtained by using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (13.6 in.) and SST with a fulcrum length of 126.5 mm (4.98 in.).
   • If using a torque wrench with a length that is not 345 mm (13.6 in.), calculate the torque specification for the torque wrench and SST based on the "without SST" torque specification. Refer to PRECAUTION .

   NOTE:

   Be careful not to damage the steering rack boot.

HINT: 

Use the same procedure for the RH side as for the LH side.

1. Using pliers, install the steering rack boot clip.

HINT: 

Use the same procedure for the RH side as for the LH side.

1. Temporarily install the lock nut and the tie rod end sub-assembly LH to the steering rack end sub-assembly until the matchmarks and length A are aligned, then temporarily tighten the lock nut.
