• Q: How to install the Rack And Pinion on 2008 Toyota RAV4?

  A: Dans installation begin with thread in the lock nut and No. 2 tie rod end sub-assembly onto the rack end while matching their marks before loosely tightening the lock nut to secure it permanently after toe in adjustment and repeat with No. 1 tie rod end sub-assembly. The front suspension crossmember requires the installation of the rack and pinion by tightening 2 bolts with 2 nuts to 138 Nm (1407 kgf-cm, 102 ft-lbf). At the same time, prevent the nut from rotating during installation. Place the intermediate shaft on the rack and pinion matching positions before tightening it to 35 Nm (360 kgf-cm, 26 ft-lbf). The new clamp should be used for attaching the No. 1 steering column hole cover sub-assembly to the rack and pinion. Following that, install engine assembly with transaxle. Fasten the body to the clip B while fitting the No. 1 hole cover with clip A in position but make sure the cover's lip remains unharmed. Position the matchmarks exactly before installing the sliding yoke to the intermediate shaft and tightening it to 35 Nm (360 kgf cm, 26 ft lb). The floor carpet must be installed first before applying the 2 clips to the column hole cover silencer sheet. The No. 2 tie rod end sub-assembly must attach to the steering knuckle by using a castle nut and torque it to 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft-lbf). When the holes for the clip are misaligned, slowly tighten the nut another 60 degrees then install a new cotter pin. Rephrase the method used for connecting the No. 1 tie rod end sub-assembly. Position the front wheels while torquing them to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf), next hook up the cable to the negative battery terminal. Proceed with aligning the wheels forward before performing their inspection and adjustment.
