Inspection
+When steering wheel does not turn smoothly, check the steer-
ing column as follows and replace damaged parts.
a. Check column bearings for damage and unevenness. Lubricate
with recommended multi-purpose grease or replace steering
column as an assembly, if necessary.
b. Check steering column lower shaft for deformation and break-
age. Replace if necessary.
+When the vehicle comes into a light collision, check length ``L
1''
and ``L
2''.
Steering column length ``L
1'':
679.9 - 681.5 mm (26.77 - 26.83 in)
Steering column lower shaft length ``L
2'':
489.3 - 493.3 mm (19.26 - 19.42 in)
If out of the speci®cations, replace steering column shaft or
steering column as an assembly.
Tilt mechanism
After installing steering column, check tilt mechanism operation.
