Upper Steering Column: Installation

If universal joint and/or adjusting clamp have been removed, refit, then reverse removal procedure and note the following: Check that 3/8" (9.5 mm) clearance exists axially in lower universal joint; if necessary, move upper universal joint further along lower column to increase clearance. Ensure self-cancelling operation of turn signals functions properly and that steering wheel spokes are horizontal when straight-ahead position is set; if not adjust as necessary.

Reverse removal procedure and note: Loosely fit upper and lower mounting bolts and spacers. Adjust column so groove on inner splined shaft aligns with bolt hole in "U" joint. Make sure upper section of column fits in center of housing fascia. Tighten mounting bolts. Reverse removal procedure for remaining components.
