There is a two bolt bracket that secures the steering gear shaft "steering bearing and rubber boot". How tight should these bolts be? The bolts are M8 x1.25 x15 mm socket head. I did not find a torque setting anywhere and securing them too tight might just damage the rubber? Any thoughts?

Maybe he is referring to the rubber coupling between the steering intermediate shaft and rack and pinion input shaft? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) There is a bearing underneath this bracket and rubber boot. There must be some guidance on how tight somewhere?  |
