Manual steering gear


Place the vehicle on a two-post lift.
REMOVAL
Remove the front wheels.
Cut the rubber boot retaining clamp and push the boot back towards the bulkhead.
Disconnect the track rod ends using tool T.Av. 476.
Remove:
- the cam bolt of the folding clevis,
- the mounting bolts on the steering gear cradle.
Remove the steering gear.
INSTALLATION
Carry out refitting in the reverse order of removal, observing the tightening torques.
When fitting a new steering gear, refit the tie-rod ends in the position marked during removal.
To do this, loosen the track rod adjuster sleeve clamp bolt and unscrew the tie-rod end while holding the axial ball joint with an open-ended spanner.
Make a mark or count the number of thread turns engaged to pre-set toe when refitting.
Check the toe setting.
NOTE: IMPERATIVELY observe the marking on the tie-rod ends (one mark on the right tie-rod end, two marks on the left tie-rod end).
