  1. Remove the steering column (see REMOVAL  ).
  2. Check these items:
    • Check for loose bearing mounting nuts (A). If they are loose, replace the column as an assembly.
    • Check the steering column ball bearings (B) and the steering joints (C) for play and proper movement. If any bearing is noisy or has excessive play, replace the steering column as an assembly.
    • Check the sliding capsules (D) for distortion or breakage. If there is distortion or breakage, replace the steering column as an assembly.
    • Check the tilt mechanism and telescopic mechanism for movement and damage.
    • Apply multipurpose grease to the steering column.
      NOTE: Do not use silicone grease.
