1.

Check if the height and the angle of the 
steering column can be adjusted after the 
switch (convex top) is pressed.

2.

Check whether the adjustment mechanism is 
securely locked again when operating the 
bottom of the switch.

3.2 CHECKING FASTENING OF UNIVERSAL JOINT TO STEERING BOX INPUT 

SHAFT

Checking fastening of universal joint to 
steering box input shaft
1.

Check the universal joint for perceptible play. 
If perceptible play is detected, the affected 
part must be replaced.

2.

Check whether there is any perceptible play 
between the spline connection of the 
universal joint and the steering box input 
shaft. If perceptible play is detected, the 
splines on the universal joint and those on 
the input shaft must be checked for wear. If 
wear is detected, the affected part must be 
replaced.
If there is noticeable play but the parts are 
not worn, the attachment bolt and nut must 
be replaced. Tighten the attachment bolt and 
nut to the specified torque, see "Technical 
data".
