  9. Finally check clearance between pipes and/or hoses, as shown in Fig 6 .

    If clearance between cruise control pump and power steering hose is less than 10 mm (0.39 in), proceed as follows:

    1. Move clamped section (A) (refer to figure Fig 6 .) down to a point where pipe is close to crossmember.

      Pipe-to-crossmember clearance: 

      10 mm (0.39 in), min. 

    2. Check that clearance between cruise control pump and power steering hose is at least 10 mm (0.39 in). If it is not, bend section (B) down until a clearance of at least 10 mm (0.39 in) is obtained.
