CAUTION:
+The rotation of the spiral cable (SRS ``Air bag'' component
part) is limited. If the steering gear must be removed, set
the front wheels in the straight-ahead direction. Do not
rotate the steering column while the steering gear is
removed.
+Remove the steering wheel before removing the steering
lower joint to avoid damaging the SRS spiral cable.
STEERING WHEEL
+Remove air bag module and spiral cable. Refer to RS section
(``Removal Ð Air Bag Module and Spiral Cable'', ``SUPPLE-
MENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM'').

+Align spiral cable correctly when installing steering wheel.
a. Set the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
b. Make sure that the spiral cable is in the neutral position.
The neutral position is detected by turning left 2.5 revolutions
from the right end position. Align the two marks (
,
m).
CAUTION:
The spiral cable may snap due to steering operation if the
cable is installed in an improper position.
Also, with the steering linkage disconnected, the cable may
snap by turning the steering wheel beyond the limited number
of turns. (The spiral cable can be turned up to 2.5 turns from
the neutral position to both the right and left.)
+Remove steering wheel with Tool.
STEERING COLUMN
+When installing steering column, ®ngertighten all lower bracket
and clamp retaining bolts; then tighten them securely. Do not
apply undue stress to steering column.
+When attaching coupling joint, be sure tightening bolt faces
cutout portion.

Inspection
+When steering wheel does not turn smoothly, check the steer-
ing column as follows and replace damaged parts.
a. Check column bearings for damage and unevenness. Lubricate
with recommended multi-purpose grease or replace steering
column as an assembly, if necessary.
b. Check steering column lower shaft for deformation and break-
age. Replace if necessary.
+When the vehicle comes into a light collision, check length ``L
1''
and ``L
2''.
Steering column length ``L
1'':
679.9 - 681.5 mm (26.77 - 26.83 in)
Steering column lower shaft length ``L
2'':
489.3 - 493.3 mm (19.26 - 19.42 in)
If out of the speci®cations, replace steering column shaft or
steering column as an assembly.
Tilt mechanism
After installing steering column, check tilt mechanism operation.
