INSPECTION
CHECKING PROCEDURE
1) Check that two capsules (1) are attached to steering column
bracket (2) securely. Check clearance between capsules and

in.) on both sides.
If found loose or clearance, replace steering column assem-
bly.
2) Check two plates (3) for any damages such as crack or
breakage.
If anything is found faulty, replace as steering column
assembly.
CAUTION:
Don’t separate double tube type steering column assem-
bly into steering column and shaft. If column or shaft is
defective, replace as and assembly.
NOTE:
Vehicles involved in accidents resulting in body damage,
where steering column has been impacted (or air bag
deployed), may have a damaged or misaligned steering
column.
