Mounting Rubber Assembly Note
- Apply soapy water to the rubber part of the mounting rubber.
- Install the mounting rubber so that two projections of the mounting rubber are parallel to the steering rack as shown in the figure.
- Press fit the ear portion of the mounting rubber (lower side) using the SSTs until it projects from the gear housing as shown in the figure.NOTE:
- Press fit the ear portion of the mounting rubber (upper side) until it partially enters the gear housing.
- Reverse the gear housing, then press fit the mounting rubber using the SSTs and the press until the mounting rubber ear portion (upper side) contacts the gear housing.
- Verify that both mounting rubber ears are correctly assembled with no gaps between them and the gear housing as shown in the figure.
- If there are gaps, readjust their positions using the SSTs and the press.
