Steering Column Removal and InstallationS7RS0B6206006
CAUTION!
Once the steering column is removed from
the vehicle, the column is extremely
susceptible to damage.
• Dropping the column assembly on its end could collapse the steering shaft or loosen
the plastic shear pins which maintain
column length.
• Leaning on the column assembly could cause it to bend or deform.
Any of the damage could impair the column’s
collapsible design.
Steering column mounting nuts should not
be loosened with steering shaft joint upper
side bolt tightened as this could cause
damage to shaft joint bearing.

NOTE
When servicing steering column or any
column-mounted component, remove
steering wheel. But when removing steering
column simply to gain access to instrument
panel components, leave steering wheel
installed on steering column.

Removal
WARNING!
Never rest a steering column assembly on
the steering wheel with the air bag (inflator)
module face down and column vertical.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.

1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Disable air bag system. Re fer to “Disabling Air Bag
System in Section 8B”.
3) Remove steering wheel and contact coil cable assembly referring to “S teering Wheel Removal and
Installation” and “Contact Coil Cable Assembly
Removal and Installation”.
4) Detach lighting switch and wiper switch from steering column.
5) Remove immobilizer cont rol module from steering
column, referring to “Immo bilizer Control Module
(ICM) Removal and Installation in Section 10C”.
6) Remove steering column hole cover.
7) Remove steering joint cover.
8) Make alignment marks (4) on lower shaft (1) and shaft joint of steering column (2) and lower shaft (1)
and pinion shaft (3) for a guide during reinstallation.
9) Remove lower shaf t joint bolts (5).
10) Remove steering lower shaft (1).
11) Remove steering column mounting nuts (1).
12) Remove steering column from vehicle.

Installation
CAUTION!
After tightening steering column mounting
nuts, shaft joint bolts should be tightened.

lb-ft)
NOTE
After installing tilt steering column, make
sure that steering column moves backwards
and forwards smoothly and stops when tilt
lever is fixed.

(5) to specified torque.
CAUTION!
After tightening column nuts, tighten steering
shaft upper joint bolt. Otherwise shaft joint
bearing is damaged.

Tightening torque
Steering shaft joint bolt (a): 25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m,
18.5 lb-ft) 6) Install steering joint cover.

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) Remove steering joint cover.
4) Make alignment marks (4) on lower shaft (1) and shaft joint of steering colu mn (2) and lower shaft (1)
and pinion shaft (3) for a guide during reinstallation.
5) Remove lower shaf t joint bolts (5).
6) Remove steering lower shaft (1). Installation
1) Be sure that front wheels are in straight forward state.
2) Align flat part “A” of steering lower shaft (1) with bolt hole “B” of shaft joint (2) of column as shown. Then
insert lower shaft into shaf t joint of steering column
with matching marks (4).
3) Insert lower shaft (1) into pinion shaft (3) with matching marks (4).
4) Tighten joint bolt (pinion shaft side) (6) to specified
torque first and then joint bolt (steering column side)
(5) to specified torque.

Also, check each boot for dent. If there is a dent, keep
boot in most compressed st ate for some seconds to
correct dent.
Boots should be visually inspected for any damage, dent
and tear during every periodical inspection at specified
intervals and whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other
purpose.
