Installation (Part -1)

Before installing the steering gearbox, make sure that no grease is on the mating surface of the steering gearbox and the front subframe. To prevent the gearbox mounting bolts from loosening after the installation, remove any grease from the bolt holes.

Install the pinion shaft grommet (A). Align the lug portion (B) in the pinion shaft grommet to the steering gearbox.

Place the steering gearbox (A) on the front subframe (B).

Loosely install the stiffener plates (C), and new gearbox mounting bolts, then tighten the bolts to the specified torque in the sequence shown.

Turn the lip of the pinion shaft grommet to ease installation.
