STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY
1. Insert the bearing seat (18) into the steering tube (20). Place a block of wood on the bearing seat and
tap lightly on the block until the bearing seat is fully seated in the steering tube (Figure 8-3).
2. Press the bearing (17) all the way into the bearing seat (18) using a steering column bearing press tool
(Club Car Part No. 1014264) or a metal tube approximately six inches (15-24 cm) long with a maximum
outer diameter of 1-3/16 inches (3.3 centimeters) and a minimum inside diameter of 7/8 of an inch (2.2
centimeters). Be sure the bearing is installed in the bearing seat as shown (Figure 8-3), so that the
wedge (16) will ride against the inner race of the bearing.
3. Install the wedge (16), spring (15), washer (14), and snap ring (13) onto the bottom end of the steering
shaft (19) (Figure 8-3).
4. Insert the shaft from the bottom of the steering tube.
5. Turn the assembly over and place the shaft on a bench. Install the wedge (16) and retaining ring (22)
onto the top of the shaft. Be sure that the prongs on the retaining ring face up and away from the
wedge. Use a steering column retaining ring tool (Club Car Part No. 1014259) to seat the retaining ring
to the proper depth. If you do not have the recommended tool, use the same tube as was used in Step
2 to press the retaining ring onto the top of the shaft. The retaining ring should be pressed onto the
shaft until 2 to 2.12 inches (5.1-5.4 centimeters) of the shaft extends from the top of the bearing seat in
the steering tube (Figure 8-4).
6. Press the seal (23) into the bearing seat (18) until it is flush with the end of the seat (Figure 8-2). When
pressing the seal into the seat, set the steering tube on a bench so that all the pressure is exerted on
the steering tube and not on the steering shaft.
STEERING COLUMN INSTALLATION (FIGURE 8-2)
1. Reinstall mount (4 and 5) onto the end of steering column. Tighten bolts (6) to 18-22 ft.lbs (25/30 N-m).
2. For ease of assembly and prevention of corrosion, apply a light coat of anti-seize and lubricating com-
pound to both splined ends of the steering shaft.
