  1. Remove the steering column (see REMOVAL ).
  2. Check these items:
    • Check the steering column ball bearing (A) and the steering joint bearings (B) for play and proper movement. If any bearing is noisy or has excessive play, replace the steering column as an assembly.
    • Check the retaining collar (C) for damage. If it is damaged, replace the steering column as an assembly.
    • Check the absorbing plates (D), absorbing plate guides (E) and sliding capsules (F) for distortion or breakage. If there is distortion or breakage, replace the steering column as an assembly. The sliding capsule is attached to the column bracket with the plastic injections (G).
