Remove the steering gear (see subsection 6.5.).
An increase in the free play of the steering wheel is possible due to wear of the parts of the ball joint of the steering rod.
Be sure to replace the torn tie rod boot. Otherwise, dirt and water that get into the steering mechanism will quickly disable it. You can replace the cover without removing the steering gear from the car.
1. Loosen the outer tie rod end locknut.
2. Unscrew the tie rod end, counting the number of revolutions. This will help when installing the tip to approximately maintain the convergence of the wheels.

21. Install the spring and thrust stop in the rack hole (spherical part outward).
22. Install the ball joint on the rod and wrap it so that there is no play, but the rod turns freely in the support.
23. While holding the support from turning, tighten the locknut.
24. Lock the collar of the locknut.
