For a wheel alignment, if necessary, fit the outer tie rods on the original gear first to the inner tie rods on the new rack and pinion, so they are balanced as much as possible. After moving the rack and pinion into position, put in the rack and pinion mounting bolts and tighten them to 95 Nm (70 ft. lbs.). Every time, fit a new O-ring on each steering hose; lubricate the ring on the return hose with power steering fluid and tighten the tube nut to 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.). Pour clean power steering fluid on the O-ring of the new pressure hose, put the pressure hose onto the rack and pinion and secure the assembly with the tube nut, tightening to 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.). Align the rack and pinion so it's centered in its travel while also centering the Clock Spring in the steering column. After that, join the coupling to the input shaft and install it with a new pinch bolt, securely fastening the bolt to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.). Attach every outer tie rod end to its knuckle, managing the nuts to a tightness of 85 Nm (63 ft. lbs.), then put all of the tire and wheel assemblies in place, tightening their mounting nuts to either 150 Nm (110 ft. lbs.) or 190 Nm (140 ft. lbs.), depending on if it's a police vehicle. Drop the vehicle and connect the negative battery cable to the battery post, making sure you get it right. Pump the steering system up to the recommended level and then put the wheels through alignment to get the toe right. Afterwards, adjust both tie rod jam nuts to 75 Nm (55 ft. lbs.).
