Track-rod — removal and refitting (Peugeot 106)

Note: A new track-rod outer end balljoint nut and a new track-rod-to-steering gear nut, must be used on refitting.

Removal

1. Chock the rear wheels then jack up the front of the vehicle and support it on axle stands (see "Jacking and vehicle support"). Remove the relevant front roadwheel.

2. Unscrew the nut securing the track-rod end to the steering arm on the suspension strut and recover the washer. Using a balljoint separator tool, separate the track-rod end from the steering arm.

3. Working in the engine compartment, unscrew the bolt securing the inner end of the track-rod to the steering gear (see illustration). It will be necessary to counterhold the nut as the bolt is unscrewed. Recover the washer from under the nut.

4. Withdraw the track-rod through the wheel arch.

Refitting

5. Refitting is a reversal of removal, bearing in mind the following points:

• a) Use a new track-rod outer end balljoint nut.
• b) Use a new track-rod-to-steerlng gear nut.
• c) Tighten all fixings to the specified torques.
• d) On completion, have the front wheel alignment checked at the earliest opportunity (refer to Section 19 for details) and check that the steering wheel Is centralised (if necessary, the steering wheel position can be altered by removing the wheel and moving it the required number of splines on the column shaft before refitting - see Section 10).
