how do you change front ring and pinion on 89 Toyota pickup
If it has excessive wear in the rack & pinion then rebuilding or replacement may be necessary.
You can not that truck has rack and pinion steering.
No! Something is worn. Have it checked out.
It's at least 2 hours of labor.
Remove driveshaft, remove pinion nut, remove rear cover, remove axles, remove differential. Push pinion out through housing.
One of the PS hoses, ranc and pinion, or the PS pump
you idiot you cant
no the Camry has a Rack-and-pinion unit that is not servicable
As far as I know the only thing adjustable on the rack and pinion on the Toyota Echo is the toe. If you have the car aligned the mechanic will adjust it to within specifications for you. Other than that you would need some very expensive equipment that only shops and schools buy.
I don't believe there is a specific torque specification! Once you install the crush sleeve and tighten the nut to the desired preload on your pinion bearings, your torque will be what it will be.
If you call your local dealer with the cars VIN number they will tell you if you have any open recalls.
