Rack And Pinion: Installation

  1. If rack has been disassembled, it must be centralized before reinstallation: Remove center plug from thrust pad and, using a piece of welding rod, locate dimple in rack shaft. When dimple in rack shaft is aligned with plug hole rack is centralized.
  2. Carefully slide rack assembly into position but DO NOT disturb rack shaft. Secure rack to chassis with mounting hardware, refit tie rod ends and tighten pinion coupling pinch bolt.
  3. Make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened and check front wheel alignment. See Triumph in WHEEL ALIGNMENT Section.
