Tie-rod boot installation
- 20Before installing boot, coat the contact surfaces between boot and tie-rod with grease.
SST967A - 21Install boot clamps. To install, wrap boot clamp around boot groove twice. Tighten clamp by twisting rings at both ends 4 to 4-1/2 turns with screwdriver while pulling with a force of approx. 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb).Install boot clamp so that it is to the rear of the vehicle when gear housing is attached to the body. (This will prevent interference with other parts.)Twist boot clamp in the direction shown in figure at left.After twisting boot clamp, bend twisted and diagonally so it does not contact boot.
