INSPECTION AFTER ASSEMBLY

When the steering wheel does not turn smoothly, check as follows:
1. Check the steering column for the following:

• Damage to the column tube or bearings

• Wear around the seal edges

• Corrosion or pitting around the seal sliding area

Replace the steering column as an assembly, if necessary.

CAUTION:

• Do not exert any axial load or impact to the steering column.

• Replace the column if it is depleted of grease, worn, damaged, or if any scratches or coating

separation is present on the shaft seal area.

2. If the vehicle has been in a collision, or if noises are heard com-

ing from the steering column, check column length. If out of

specification, replace the steering column as an assembly.

3. Check the tilt device for proper operation range.
