ABSTRACT:
Service tool means for rack and pinion steering assemblies operably connected to the steerable wheels through tie rods extending from outer ball joints adjacent the wheels to inner ball joints connected to the ends of the rack. The service tool is made up of cooperating telescoped bodies having substantially matching slots, each ending in an enlarged notch, for allowing the tie rod and its attached inner ball joint to be passed through the slots and assume a position in the inner body where jaw means carried by each body adjacent its enlarged notch engage the rack and the ball joint for the purpose of relatively turning the ball joint while preventing turning of the rack.
