Checking the attachment of the universal
joint of the steering box input shaft
1. Check the universal joint for noticeable play.
If noticeable play is detected, the universal

box input shaft. If noticeable play is
detected, the splines on the universal joint

checked for wear. If there is some wear, the
affected part must be replaced.
3. If there is noticeable play but the parts are
not worn, the nut and bolt must be replaced.
