Radial Play

  1. Adjust radial play of rack as follows. Insert plunger without spring and gasket, then attach cap with bolts (finger tight only).
  2. Measure clearance which exists between the cap and the housing face. To this measurement add 0.002 - 0.006" (0.05 - 0.15 mm), to allow for play after completion of adjuster assembly.
  3. This total thickness will be the thickness of gasket and shims required. Measure shims and gasket together, then remove cap and install shims, gasket and cap. Check rack for free movement by rotating pinion.
