•
Loosen the nut from the ball joint instead of removing
it.
•
Hang special tool MB991113 or MB990635 with ropes to
prevent it from falling.
1. Use special tool MB991113 or MB990635 to disconnect the
ball joint.
2. Move the ball joint stud several times and install the nut on
the stud. Measure the ball joint breakaway torque with
special tool MB990326.

3. If the breakaway torque exceeds the standard value, replace
the tie rod end.
4. If the breakaway torque is under the standard value, check
the ball joint for end play or ratcheting. If no end play or
ratcheting, the ball joint can be re-used.
5. Tighten the nut to the specified torque and install a new
cotter pin.

STATIONARY STEERING EFFORT CHECK
M1372001700075
1. With the vehicle stopped on a flat and paved surface, turn
the steering wheel to the straight ahead position.
2. Start the engine and check the engine idle speed.
Standard value:
3. Attach a spring scale to the outer circumference of the
steering wheel and measure the steering force required to
turn the steering wheel from the straight ahead position to
the left and right (within a range of 1.5 turns). Also check to
be sure that there is no significant fluctuation of the required
steering effort.
Standard value:
Steering effort: 30 N (6.7 lb) or less
Fluctuation allowance: 5.9 N (1.33 lb) or less

STEERING WHEEL RETURN TO CENTER CHECK
M1372001800072
Conduct a road test:
1. Make both gradual and sudden turns and check the steering
wheel return.
2. At a speed of approximately 35 km/h (22 mph), turn the
steering wheel 90 degrees, hold a few seconds, then
release. If the steering wheel then returns 70 degrees or
more, the return can be judged satisfactory.
NOTE: There will be a momentary feeling or "heaviness"
when the wheel is turned quickly, but this is not abnormal.
(Oil pump discharge amount is especially apt to be
insufficient during idling.)

FLUID LEVEL CHECK
M1372002000079
1. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface, start the engine, and
then turn the steering wheel several times to raise the
temperature of the fluid to approximately 50
−
60
°
C (122
−
140
°
F).
2. With the engine running, turn the wheel all the way to the left
and right several times.
3. Check the fluid in the oil reservoir for foaming or milkiness.
Check the difference of the fluid level when the engine is
stopped, and while it is running. If the change of the fluid
level is 5 mm (0.2 inch) or more, air bleeding should be
done.
FLUID REPLACEMENT
M1372002100076
1. Raise and support the front wheels.
2. Disconnect the return hose connection.
3. Connect a vinyl hose to the return hose, and drain the fluid
into a container.
CAUTION
Be careful not to position the high-tension cable near the
fuel rail.
4. Disconnect the high-tension cable.
5. While operating the starter motor intermittently, turn the
steering wheel all the way to the left and right several times
to drain all of the fluid.
6. Connect the return hose securely, and then secure with the
clip.
7. Fill the oil reservoir with MITSUBISHI POWER STEERING
FLUID up to the lower position of the filler, and then bleed
the air.

POWER STEERING SYSTEM BLEEDING
M1372002200084
Perform air bleeding procedure as necessary after replacing
the steering gear box or the steering fluid lines.
1. Raise and support the front wheels.
2. Disconnect the high-tension cable. Turn the steering wheel
all the way to the left and right five or six times while using
the starter motor to crank the engine intermittently several
times (for 15 to 20 seconds).
CAUTION
•
Be careful not to place the high-tension cable near the
fuel rail.
•
Perform air bleeding only while cranking the engine. If
air bleeding is performed while the engine is running,
air could enter the fluid. During air bleeding, refill the
steering fluid supply so that the level never falls below
the lower mark on the dipstick.
3. Connect the high-tension cable. Start the engine (idling).
4. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right until there are no
air bubbles in the oil reservoir.
5. Confirm that the fluid is not milky, and that the level is
between the high and low dipstick marks.
6. Confirm that there is very little change in the fluid level when
the steering wheel is turned left and right.
7. Confirm that the change in the fluid level is no more than 5
mm (0.2 inch) when the engine is stopped and when it is
running.
CAUTION
If the fluid level rises suddenly after the engine is stopped,
the air has not been completely bled. If air bleeding is not
complete, there will be abnormal noises from the pump
and the flow-control valve, and this condition could cause
reduce the life of the power steering components.
8. If the change of the fluid level is 5 mm (0.2 inch) or more, the
air has not been completely bled from the system. Air
bleeding procedure must be repeated.

OIL PUMP PRESSURE TEST
M1372002300070
Required Special Tools:
•
MB990662: Pressure Gauge
•
MB991548: Power Steering Oil Pressure Gauge Adapter
(Pump Side)
•
MB991549: Power Steering Oil Pressure Gauge Adapter
(Hose Side)
1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump, and then
connect special tools MB991548, MB990662 and
MB991549.
2. Bleed air, then turn the steering wheel several times while
the vehicle is not moving so that the temperature of the fluid
rises to approximately 50
−
60
°
C (122
−
140
°
F).
3. Start the engine and idle it at 1,000
±
100 r/min.
CAUTION
The pressure gauge shut-off valve must not remain closed
for more than 10 seconds.
4. Fully close the shut-off valve of the pressure gauge and
measure the oil pump relief pressure to confirm that it is
within the standard value range. Open it again immediately
after checking the pressure.
Standard value: 8.3
−
9.5 MPa (1,209
−
1,280 psi)
5. If it is not within the standard value, replace the oil pump.
6. Check whether or not the hydraulic pressure is the standard
value when no-load conditions are created by fully opening
the shut-off valve of the pressure gauge.
Standard value: 0.8
−
1.0 MPa (116
−
145 psi)
7. If it is not within the standard value, the probable cause is a
malfunction of the oil line or steering gear box, so check
these parts and repair as necessary.
8. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or right; then
check whether or not the retention hydraulic pressure is the
standard value.
Standard value: 8.3
−
9.5 MPa (1,209
−
1,280 psi)
9. If not the standard value, overhaul the steering gear box.
Remeasure fluid pressure.
10. Remove special tools MB991548, MB990662 and
MB991549, and then tighten the pressure hose to the
specified torque.
