STEERING ASSIST CYLINDER MAINTENANCE (Contd)
ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
Perform steps 1 and 2 if steering assist cylinder was not removed.
When power is applied to the steering assist cylinder on a tie rod
installation, the tie rod may have a tendency to crank. To limit
this condition, perform steps 1 through 10.
1.
Remove six jamnuts (6) from screws (4).
2.
Loosen six nuts (9) on screws (4).
3.
Turn wheels in full right-hand turn.
4.
Loosen one of the tie rod ends (1), and turn the socket shells (2) in opposite directions.
Tighten tie rod end (1) 170 lb-ft (231 Nm).
5.
6.
Turn wheels in a full left-hand turn to ensure tie rod (3) does not bind.

Position steering assist cylinder rod (8) approximately 1/2 in. (13 mm) from being fully retracted.
8.
Position wheels in a full left-hand turn.
9.
Tighten center screws (4) and nuts (9) at top and bottom center of the tie rod bracket assembly (5).
NOTE
Power assist cylinder must be parallel to the tie rod for proper
operation.
10.
Turn wheels in full-right and left-hand turns, checking the maximum and minimum strokes of the
steering assist cylinder (7). Adjust, as required, the position of the tie rod bracket assembly (5) so
the steering assist cylinder (7) operates as close to the minimum dimension as possible, and is
parallel to the tie rod (3) when wheels are in the straight-ahead position.
Tighten six nuts (9) to 30-35 lb-ft (41-47 Nm) at tie rod bracket assembly (5).

nuts (9).
