and then upper nuts (2) to specifications as given
below.
Tightening torque
Steering column nut (a): 14 N·m (1.4 kgf-m, 10.5
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.

3) Align flat part “A” of stee ring 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).
4) Insert lower shaft (1) into pinion shaft (3) with matching marks (4).
5) Tighten joint bolt (pinion shaft side) (6) to specified torque first and then joint bolt (steering column side)
(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.
7) Install immobilizer cont
rol module from steering
column, referring to “Immo bilizer Control Module
(ICM) Removal and Installation in Section 10C”.
8) Install lighting switch and wiper switch to steering column.
9) Install contact coil cable assembly and steering wheel referring to “Conta ct Coil Cable Assembly
Removal and Installation” and “Steering Wheel
Removal and Installation”.

5) Tighten new bolts (1) until head of each bolt is broken off.
6) Turn ignition key to “ACC” or “ON” position and check to be sure that st eering shaft (2) rotates
smoothly. Also check for lock operation.
7) Install steering column. Re fer to “Steering Column
Removal and Installation”.
8) If steering lock assembly has replaced, after completing installation, register ignition key
transponder code in ECM referring to “Registration
of the Ignition Key in Section 10C”.
Steering Lower Shaft Removal and InstallationS7RS0B6206010
CAUTION!
Never turn steering wheel while steering
lower shaft is removed.
Should it have been turned and contact coil
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.
Tightening torque
