Steering Column

NOTE: Steering column and shaft are not serviced separately. DO NOT attempt to disassemble steering column assembly. Replace as a unit only.

If vehicle has been involved in a substantial collision, check steering column for collapse by measuring steering shaft. On Metro & Firefly (Canadian) with air bag, measure dimension "A". See Fig 1 or Fig 2. If measurement is not within specification, replace steering column. See STEERING COLUMN LENGTH table. Also ensure upper steering column mount is not damaged and securely attached.
