INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Check for damage to steering column jacket tube. If damage is found, replace steering column with new
one.

If vehicle has been in a collision, check column length “L1” and
“L2 ” as shown. If out of specification, replace steering column
with new one.

Check for proper lubrication, apply grease as necessary.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

ASSEMBLY

Assembly is in the reverse order of disassembly.

Install new tamper resistant self-shear screws.
INSPECTION AFTER ASSEMBLY
When the steering wheel does not turn smoothly, check the steering column as follows:
1. Check the column bearings for damage or unevenness. Lubricate with recommended multi-purpose
grease. Replace the steering column as an assembly, if necessary.
2. Check the column tube for deformation or breakage. Replace the steering column as an assembly, if nec- essary.
3. If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, or if noise and rat- tles are heard during a turn, check the length "L" of the column.
If out of specification, replace the steering column as an assem-
bly.
4. Check for proper lubrication, apply grease as necessary.
5. Check for wear around the seal edges, replace the steering col- umn as an assembly as necessary.
6. Check for corrosion or pitting around the seal sliding area.

4. Install the ball cage, steel ball, and inner race assembly on the
shaft, and secure them tightly using the snap ring.
NOTE:
Discard the old snap ring and use a new one for assembly.
5. Insert the specified quantity of Genuine NISSAN Grease or equivalent, onto the housing (indicated by * marks), and install it
onto shaft. Refer to MA-11, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND
LUBRICANTS" .
6. Install the stopper ring onto the housing.
7. After installation, pull on the shaft to check engagement between the joint sub-assembly and the stopper ring.
8. Install the boot securely into the grooves (indicated by * marks) as shown.
CAUTION:
If there is grease on boot mounting surfaces (indicated by*
marks) of shaft and housing, boot may come off. Remove
all grease from surfaces.
9. Check that the boot installation length “L” is the length indicated below. Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver or similar tool into smaller
side of boot. Bleed the air from the boot to prevent any boot
deformation.
CAUTION:

The boot may break if the boot installation length is less than the specified value.

Do not to touch the tip of the screwdriver to the inside of the boot.
10. Secure the big and small ends of the boot with the new boot bands as shown.
NOTE:
Discard the old boot bands and use new ones for assembly.
11. After installing the housing and shaft, rotate the boot to check that the boot is positioned correctly. If the boot is not positioned correctly, reposition the boot and secure the boot using a new boot band.

1. Insert the Genuine NISSAN Grease or equivalent, into the joint
sub-assembly serration hole until the grease begins to ooze
from the ball groove and serration hole. Refer to MA-11, "
REC-
OMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" . After inserting the
grease, use a shop cloth to wipe off the grease that has oozed
out.
2. Wind the serrated part of the shaft with tape. Install the boot band and boot onto the shaft. Do not damage the boot.
NOTE:
Discard the old boot band and boot and use a new one for
assembly.
3. Remove the protective tape wound around the serrated part of the shaft.
4. Attach the circlip to the shaft. The circlip must fit securely into the shaft groove. Attach the nut to the joint sub-assembly.
Use a soft hammer to press-fit the circlip.
NOTE:
Discard the old circlip and use a new one for assembly.
5. Insert the specified quantity of Genuine NISSAN Grease or equivalent, into the housing from the large end of the boot. Refer
to MA-11, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .
6. Install the boot securely into the grooves (indicated by the * marks) as shown.
CAUTION:
If there is grease on the boot mounting surfaces (indicated
by the * marks) of the shaft and housing, the boot may
come off. Remove all grease from the shaft surfaces.
7. Check that the boot installation length “L” is the specified length. Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver or similar tool into the smaller
side of the boot. Bleed the air from the boot to prevent boot
deformation.
CAUTION:
