STEERING COLUMN INSTALLATION

N·m)
(Figure 7-3, Page 7-3) .

both splined ends of the steering shaft.
3. Position the steering column assembly in the vehicle while inserting the steering column shaft into the upper
universal joint (1). The flat portion of the steering shaft spline (19) must be aligned with the bolt hole in the
universal joint (1) before sliding the spline into the universal joint. While holding the steering column in place,
attach it to the frame using bolts (8), washers (7), and nuts (9)
(Figure 7-3, Page 7-3) . Thread the nuts onto the
bolts but do not tighten them.
4. Install wide washer (35), washer (11) and screw (10). Tighten to 20 ft·lb (27 N·m) (Figure 7-3, Page 7-3) .
5. Install the bolt (2) and lock washer (3) on the upper universal joint and finger-tighten.
6. Tighten the two nuts (9) and bolts (8) to 18 ft·lb (24.4 N·m) (Figure 7-3, Page 7-3) .
7. Tighten the bolt (2) on the upper universal joint to 15 ft·lb (20 N·m) (Figure 7-3, Page 7-3) .
8. Check the other two bolts of the universal joint (1) to ensure that they are properly tightened to 15 ft·lb (20
N·m)
(Figure 7-3, Page 7-3) .
