      Determining if steering column must be replaced 
following an accident:  
     
Visual check  
     
-  Check all steering column components for 
damage. 
     
Functional check  
     
-  Make sure steering column turns easily without 
jerking. 
     
-  Make sure steering column can be adjusted for 
height and reach.

If dimension -A- is larger than 0.5 mm (0.20 in.), steering column is 
damaged and must be replaced
