must be aligned with the bolt hole in the universal joint before sliding the spline into the universal joint . While
holding the steering column in place, attach it to the frame using bolts and nuts (4 and 5). Thread the nuts
onto the bolts but do not tighten them.
3. Install the bolt (9) in the upper universal joint and finger tighten.
4. Tighten the four steering column lock nuts to 216 in-lb (24.5 N·m).
5. Tighten the bolt (9) on the upper universal joint to 20 ft-lb (27 N·m).
6. Check the other bolts on the universal joints to ensure that they are properly tightened to 20 ft-lb (27 N·m).
