Figure 116-17 As the steering wheel is turned, the nut moves up or down on the threads, shown using a bolt to represent the worm gear and the nut representing the gear nut that meshes with the teeth of the sector gear. * Figure 116-18 Steering gear ratio is the ratio between the number of degrees the steering wheel is rotated to the number of degrees the front wheel turns. * Figure 116-19 Constant-ratio steering gear sector shaft. Notice that all three gear teeth are the same size. * Figure 116-20 Variable-ratio steering gear sector shaft. Notice the larger center gear tooth. * Figure 116-21 The sector gear meshes with the gear teeth on the ball nut. * Figure 116-22 A typical manual recirculating ball steering gear. * Figure 116-23 The sector shaft is supported by bushings, one in the housing and one in the side cover. * Figure 116-24 Worm bearing preload is a turning force measured in in.-lb or N-M, and worm endplay is axial movement measured in fractions of an inch or millimeters. * Figure 116-25 The first step to adjust worm gear freeplay is to bottom the worm gear nut, using a spanner wrench designed to fit into the two holes in the nut. * Figure 116-26 After the worm gear nut has been tightened, measure 1/2 inch (13 mm) and mark the case. Using the spanner wrench, rotate the worm gear nut counterclockwise 1/2 inch, align the marks, and then tighten the retaining nut. This procedure gives the proper worm gear endplay. * Figure 116-27 Performing an overcenter adjustment requires the use of a beam-type inch-lb torque wrench. After the worm bearing preload procedure has been completed, use the torque wrench to measure the rotating torque, which should be 6 to 15 lb-in. If the rotating torque is within the specified range, adjust the overcenter adjustment screw until you achieve 6 to 10 lb-in. additional rotating torque and then tighten the retaining nut. * Figure 116-28 Sector shaft endplay is the measurement of how far the secto
