Steering Column Inspection: Inspection

  1. Remove the steering column (see STEERING COLUMN REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION  ).
  2. Check these items:
    • Check the steering column ball bearing (A) and the steering joints (B) for play and proper movement. If any bearing is noisy or has excessive play, replace the steering column as an assembly.
    • Check the coat plates (C) 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.
    • Check the spline shaft (D) for smooth movement in and out. If the spline shaft is removed, slip it into the spline tube by aligning the paint or stamped marks (E). If it sticks or binds, replace the steering column as an assembly.
    • Apply multipurpose grease to the steering column.
      NOTE: Do not use silicone grease.
