II - REFITTING OPERATION FOR PART
CONCERNED
aFit the intermediate shaft on the steering column
while taking care not to shift it more than one tooth in
relation to its initial position.
aCheck that the intermediary shaft on the steering
column side is in the correct position.
aPretighten the intermediate shaft bolt on the steering
column side.
aPull on the intermediate shaft of the steering column
to check presence of the bolt in the neck.
aConnect the battery (see Battery: Removal - Refit-
ting) (80A, Battery).
aUnlock the steering wheel.
aObserve the direction of fitting for the universal joint
cam nut.
aRefit the universal joint.aCheck that the universal joint is in the correct posi-
tion on the steering rack attack pinion stem.
aPretighten the universal joint bolt.
aTighten to torque:
-the intermediate shaft bolt on the steering col-
umn side (29 Nm),
-the universal joint bolt (24 Nm).
III - FINAL OPERATION.
aConnect the various connectors.
aRefit the dashboard lower trim.
aCheck that correct alignment of the steering wheel
then perform a geometry of the front axle if neces-
sary (see 30A, General information, Front axle
assembly: Adjustment values, page 30A-31) .

Note:
When refitting the handle, ensure that the retain-
ing spring and the two notched segments are
correctly positioned. Check that the teeth are
interlocked and not in the tooth on tooth position.
Note:
The amount of effort required to operate the han-
dle is determined by how much it is tightened.
Test to determine the correct tightening. The
measurement of effor t must be made with a
torque wrench (Unlocking effort - 10N minimum /
Locking effor t - 60N maximum).
