When installing rack guide, push it against the
distribution shaft sleeve and upper spring retainer so
that the rack is in parallel with the direction of
camshaft. (T = 3 to 4 N
Movable range of rack is to be equal to or larger
than ±7 mm.
Fix the rack at the position of L = 25, and measure
the effective stroke and sub-step (overflow stroke) to
check that they are within the standards (Refer to
attached drawing 1.)
The rack must not separate from the ball of the
control sleeve within the movable range.
Fix the plunger with a jig and measure the total
backlash. (To be equal to or less than 0.2 mm)
The load of rack auxiliary SP must be able to return
the rack from the maximum decreased position to
the maximum increased position).
