INSTALLATION
1) Check that vehicle’s front tires are at straight-ahead position.
If equipped with air bag system, align contact coil to original
position referring to “Centering Contact Coil” in this section.
2) Install steering wheel as follows.
For vehicle without air bag system
a) Apply grease to contact plate (1).
“A” : Grease 99000-25290
b) Install steering wheel onto shaft, aligning them by match
marks.
For vehicle with air bag system
Install steering wheel to steering shaft with 2 lugs (2) on con-
tact coil fitted in two grooves (3) in the back of steering wheel
and also aligning marks (4) on steering wheel and steering
shaft. CAUTION:
Do not hammer the end of the shaft. Hammering it will
loosen the plastic shear pins which maintain the column
length and impair the collapsible design of the column.
CAUTION:
For vehicle with air bag system
These two conditions are prerequisite for installation of
steering wheel. If steering wheel has been installed with-
out these conditions, contact coil will break when steer-
ing wheel is turned.

6) Check steering shaft joints and shaft for any damages such
as crack, breakage, malfunction or excessive play.
If anything is found faulty, replace as lower joint assembly or
column assembly.
7) Check steering shaft for smooth rotation.
If found defective, replace as column assembly.
8) Check steering shaft and column for bend, cracks or defor-
mation.
If found defective, replace.
