Steering column

For  vehicles equipped with central

locking:

- disconnect the central locking

connector.

Dismount the anti-starting bushing (11).

Dismount the instrument panel attachment

screws.

Disconnect the four connectors of the

instrument panel.

Dismount the instrument panel.
Dismount the aerating tube from the left side

aerator as well as from the central climate
maintenance unit.

In the engine compartment:
Dismount the expansion vessel attachemnt

nuts, move in such way the vessel  so that you
may access at the connection screw between

the steering box gear shaft and the cardan end
of the steering column lower shaft.

Dismount the connection screw, marking the

joint position.

In the passenger compartment:
Dismount the 2 screws attaching the steering

column to the driving post upper part.

Dismount the 4 screws attaching the steering
column to the driving post lower part.

Steering column

REMOUNTING

1. Manual steering column
Pass the cardan joint of the lower shaft

through the cowl panel whole.

2. Power steering column
Pass the cardan joint of the lower shaft as

well as the protection bellows through the cowl
panel whole, having previously bound with a
piece of cord, both the cardan joint end and
the bellows eyes.

Cut the piece of cord, position the bellows

on the cowl panel.

In both situations, continue with:

In the engine compartment:
Position the cardan joint end of the steering

column lower shaft on the steering box gear
shaft.

Fix in the position marked when

dismounting, the connection screw between the
steering column lower shaft and the steering
box gear shaft, without tightening to the required
moment.

In the passengers compartment :

Fix and tighten to the required moment the

six screws attaching the steering column to the
driving post.

Return in the engine compartment for

tightening to the required moment, the
connection screw between the steering column
lower shaft and the steering box gear shaft.

For the other parts, remounting is done by

performing the dismounting operations in  the
reverse order.

Take care  when  mounting the instrument

panel, to correctly connect the electrical
connectors.

    Characteristics of the steering column
mounting.

The straight in line driving position is ensured

by unique positioning of the steering wheel on
the column shaft.

Replace the steering wheel attachment

screw after each dismounting.

Observe the required tightening moment for

the steering wheel attachment screw (4.4
daNm).
