This is page ST-10 of a Nissan service manual covering assembly and adjustment of the R22T manual steering gear and linkage. It concludes a pinion adjustment step (readjust if pinion rotating torque is out of specification) and then details the tie-rod and boot assembly procedure in five steps: (1) apply locking sealer to the threaded portion of the tie-rod inner socket, fit it to the rack end, and secure it with a pin, cautioning not to let the pin protrude beyond the rack outer diameter; (2) install the boot on the tie-rod inner socket; (3) install the lock nut and tie-rod outer socket, adjusting tie-rod length "L" to 107.1 mm (4.22 in) before tightening the lock nut; (4) measure rack stroke, with length "ℓ" specified at 66.7 mm (2.626 in); and (5) install boot clamps by wrapping the clamp around the boot groove twice and twisting the rings four to four-and-a-half turns with a screwdriver while pulling with approximately 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) of force. Illustrations (SST559A, SST560A, SST561A, SST562A, SST438A) show pin installation, boot fitting, tie-rod length measurement, rack stroke measurement, and clamp tightening (with a 340 mm / 13.39 in clamp wire dimension).
