STEERING COLUMN

CAUTION:
D Once the steering column is removed from the vehicle,
the column is extremely susceptible to damage.
D Dropping the column assembly on its end could col-
lapse the steering shaft.
D Loosen the plastic shear pins which maintain column
length.
D Leaning on the column assembly could cause it to
bend or deform.
D Any of the above damage could impair the column's
collapsible design.
D Steering column mounting nuts should not be loos-
ened with steering shaft joint upper side bolt tightened
as this could cause damage to shaft joint bearing.
NOTE:
When servicing steering column or any column-mounted
component, remove steering wheel. But when removing
steering column simply to gain access to instrument panel
components, leave steering wheel installed on steering col-
umn.
