Steering - Revised On-Car Rack Bearing Adjustment
Number 85-3-7 Date 2/85Subject: REVISED ON-CAR RACK & PINION RACK BEARING ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE ALL FRONT-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLES
The following revision has been made to the rack bearing preload adjustment procedures when performed on the car.
1. Loosen adjuster plug lock nut.
2. Turn the adjuster plug clockwise until it bottoms, then back off plug 50~-70~. Hold plug from moving and tighten lock nut.
3. Check for freeness of steering wheel return to center from both a right and left turn. This procedure for on-car service adjustment supersedes Dealer Technical Bulletin 83-T-8, Sect. 3. A pinion preload torque check should still be made when off-car service is performed.
