7. INSTALL CONTROL VALVE HOUSING WITH CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY

(a) Coat a new O-ring with power steering fluid, and install it to the valve housing.

(b) Align the matchmarks on the valve housing and rack housing, and install the valve housing with the valve assembly to the rack housing.

(c) Torque the 2 bolts.

Torque:

18 N·m {180 kgf·cm, 13ft·lbf}

8. INSTALL POWER STEERING GEAR HOUSING OIL SEAL
