Using special tool preload socket (MB991006), rotate the pinion gear at the rate of one
rotation in approximately 4 to 6 seconds to check the total pinion torque. Standard value:
Total rotational torque: 0.7 - 1.3 N·m Torque fluctuation: 0.7 N·m or less

When measuring, remove the bellows from the rack housing. Measure the pinion torque through
the whole stroke of the rack.
