3) Install steering column assembly (1) with contacting upper
side of lower bracket slits to mounting bolts. Tighten steering
column lower mounting nuts (3) first and then upper mount-
ing bolts (2) to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Steering column mounting bolts and nuts (b) :
25 N·m (2.5 kg-m, 18.0 lb-ft)
4) Align cutting point “A” of steering column assembly (1) with
bolt hole “B” of steering upper shaft upper joint as shown in
the figure. Then connect steering upper shaft upper joint.
5) Install steering upper shaft upper joint bolt (2) and nut (1).
Tighten steering upper shaft upper joint nut (1) to specified
torque.
Tightening torque
Steering upper shaft upper joint nut (a) :
23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
6) If contact coil and combination switch assembly is removed,
install it, referring to “CONTACT COIL AND COMBINATION
SWITCH ASSEMBLY” in this section.
7) Connect all connectors that have been removed in removal.
8) Install steering column hole cover (1).
9) If steering wheel is removed, install it by referring to
“STEERING WHEEL” in this section.
10) Connect negative (–) cable to battery.
11) After installing steering column assembly, be sure to enable

Steering Upper Shaft Assembly
REMOVAL
1) Turn steering wheel so that vehicle’s front tires are at
straight-ahead position.
2) Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” position and remove key.
3) Make alignment marks (3) on shaft joint (2) and shaft (upper
shaft assembly side) (1) for a guide during reinstallation.
4) After removing bolt (4) on upper shaft assembly (1) side of
shaft joint (2) and loosening bolt (5) on its lower shaft assem-
bly (3) side, move shaft joint (2) to lower shaft assembly (3)
side (in arrow direction in the figure).
5) Remove steering upper shaft upper joint bolt (1) and nut (2)
and disconnect steering upper shaft upper joint removing in
arrow direction in the figure.
6) Remove steering upper shaft mounting bolts (4 pieces).
7) Remove steering upper shaft assembly from vehicle.CAUTION:
Never turn steering wheel while steering upper shaft
assembly is removed.
Should it have been turned and contact coil (on combina-
tion switch) have got out of its centered position, it needs
to be centered again. Also, turning steering wheel more
than about two and a half turns will break contact coil.

REMOVAL
1) Turn steering wheel so that vehicle’s front tires are at
straight-ahead position.
2) Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” position and remove key.
3) After removing bolt (4) on upper shaft assembly (1) side of
shaft joint (2) and loosening bolt (5) on its lower shaft assem-
bly (3) side, move shaft joint (2) to lower shaft assembly side
(3) (in arrow direction in figure).
4) Remove lower shaft assembly lower joint bolt (2) and then
remove lower shaft assembly (1).
5) Remove shaft joint bolt (lower shaft assembly side) from
shaft joint (3) and then remove shaft joint (3) from lower shaft
assembly (1).

CAUTION:
Never turn steering wheel while steering lower shaft
assembly is removed.
Should it have been turned and contact coil (on combina-
tion switch) have got out of its centered position, it needs
to be centered again. Also, turning steering wheel more
than about two and a half turns will break contact coil.

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System:
Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service
on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in
unintentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
NOTE:
For the description (items) not found in this section refer to the same section of the Service Manual
mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.
When inspecting and servicing vehicle equipped with ABS, be sure to refer to section 5E2 first.
All brake fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of vital
parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of
same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a
replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified
during reassembly to assure proper retention of all parts. There is to be no welding as it may result
in extensive damage and weakening of the metal.
