10.1 STEERING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
10.1.1 Steering Column Major Components
Integrated column assembly incorporating power, or manual, reach /tilt mechanism and lock.
Ignition switch.
Ignition interlock solenoid.
Key transponder coil.
Body attachment points.
Depending upon model, the steering column may be adjusted for
tilt and reach, either by electrical or manual means.
Power variants may be either automatically or manually adjusted and all types have the entry / exit feature.
10.1.2 Steering Column Operating Principle
Power Adjust: Two independent motor / gearbox assemblies provide infinite adjustment for reach and height within
approximate ranges of 35mm and
13O respectively. Adjustments may be automatically made in conjunction with the
seat memory facility or manually when the adjustment switch is used. It should be noted that selection of 'Off will
disable the automatic entry / exit mode.
Manual Adjust: The cable operated reach adjustment is infinite within a range of 35mm, with the desired position being
fixed
by a rack and wedge. Tilt variations are stepped at approximately 3O intervals with 6 positions being available,
the uppermost being unlatched.
From the uppermost position the column may be pulled down to engage the first detent without using the
tilt lever.
WARNING: MANUAL ADJUST ONLY: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY, COLUMN UPWARD TRAVEL SHOULD BE MAN- UALLY RESTRAINED TO CHECK UPWARD SPRING ASSISTANCE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IF
THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR MAINTENANCE REASONS.
WARNING: ALL TYPES; DO NOT REMOVE THE STEERING COLUMN FROM THE VEHICLE WITH THE STEERING
WHEEL ATTACHED UNLESS THE STEERING
IS CENTERED AND THE COLUMN LOCK IS ENGAGED. IFTHE
SERVE THIS MAY RESULT IN AN INOPERATIVE AIRBAG SYSTEM. SEE LABEL ON STEERING WHEEL

the ball joint (1 Fig. 1).
m: Leave the lock-nut in its original position to initially
locate the new ball joint.
. Remove the track rod ball joint nut (and discard) (2 Fig. 1)
at the steering arm (3 Fig. 1).
. Using service tool JD 100 (1 Fig. 2), release the taper and
remove the ball joint (2 Fig. 2).
Fit the new track rod ball joint up to the lock-nut and se- cure at the steering arm with a new nut; tighten to specifi- cation.

11.4.3 Front End Inspection
Do not check and adjust front wheel alignment without carrying out the following inspection for front end damage and
wear:
. Check for specified air pressure in all four tires.
Raise front of vehicle off the floor; grasping upper and lower surface of the tire, shake each front wheel to check for
. Check front suspension lower arm ball joint and mounts for looseness, wear and damage.
Check steering gear mountings and all steering linkages for looseness.
. Renew parts if necessary.
. Grasp upper and lower surface of tire and shake each wheel to check wheel bearing end play.
. Check the action of the front dampers and the condition of their attachments, as sticking or binding front dampers
worn
bearings.
Check brake caliper mountings.
may not allow the vehicle to settle in to a normal level position, possibly affecting the front-wheel alignment.
m: Front wheel bearings are adjustable (0.001 to 0.003 in. endfloat).
11.4.4
. Check the wheel bearings.
. Inspect the front suspension upper joint and renew front suspension lower wishbone if needed.
Raise vehicle and position floor jacks beneath the front suspension lower wishbone.
Grasp the lower edge of the tire and move the wheel in and out.
While moving the wheel, observe the upper and lower wishbone.
. Movement between the vertical links and the wishbones indicates abnormal ball joint wear.
. Renew ball joints.
. Check the front wheel bearings.
. Check for excessive play and wear.
Upper / Lower Ball Joint Inspection
11.4.5 Damper Inspection
m: The gas-pressurized hydraulic front dampers are not serviceable, adjustable or refillable.
Verify that all attachments of the suspension components and the front dampers are tight. Renew any front damper
. Check front dampers for external damage.
. Check for oil leakage and vehicle sag.
that
has a damaged integral lower mounting bushing.
0 Oil Leak
Leakage is the condition in which the entire damper body is covered with oil and from where
it will drip on to
the pavement. Due to correct damper lubrication a light film of oil (weepage) can usually be seen on the upper
portion of the damper.
Should there be any leakage, ensure that the fluid does not originate from sources other than the front damper.
Renew worn or damaged dampers.
0 Vehicle Sag
Renewing front dampers will not correct the problem of vehicle sag, as basically this is controlled by the spring
units.
