8. Installation is the reverse ofthe removal procedure.
Note these items during installation:
. Be sure the wires are not caught or pinched by
any parts when installing the column.
a Make sure the wire harness is routed and fas-
tened properly.
. Make sure the connectors are properly connected.
. Make sure the steering joint is connected as fol-
lows:
a. lnsert the uDper end of the steering joint onto
the steering shaft (line up the bolt hole with
the flat ot the shaft).
b. Slip the lower end of the steering ioint onto
the Dinion shaft (lins up the bolt hole with the
groove around the shaft). and installthe lower
ioint bolt. Be sure that the lower joint bolt is
securely in the groove in the pinion shaft'
c. Pull on the steering joint to make sure that the
steering joint is JullY seated.
Then install the upper joint bolt and tighten it.

Inspection
Check the steering column ball bearing and the steer-
ing joint bearings for play and proper movement. lf
there is noisy or if there is excessive play, replace the
steering column as an assemblY
Check the retaining collar for damage. lf it is dam-
aged, replace the retaining collar.

49. Select the 32 mm shim(s) ('97 model onlv).
NOTE: Only reinstall the original 32 mm shim(s)
when the steering gearbox is reassembled without
replacing the pinion shaft. valve housing, and gear-
box housing with new ones.
lf the pinion shaft, valve housing, and gearbox
housing are replaced, select the new shim{s) as fol-
lows.
Shim selection:
Set the four 32 mm shims on the bearing surface of the
gearbox housing. Total thickness of the four shims
should equal no more than 0.70 mm.
Shim set: four 32 mm shims (Thickness: 0.10 mm, 0.15
mm, 0.20 mm, 0.25 mm respectively)
NOTE: The four 32 mm shims do not have thickness
identification marks. Measure the thickness of each shim
using a micrometer, and mark the shim for identification.
