INSTALL OR CONNECT
NOTICE: When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which they were removed. If a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener for that application. If the correct part number fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size and strength (or stronger) may be used. Fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring thread locking compound will be called out. The correct torque value must be used when installing fasteners that require it. If the above conditions are not followed, parts or system damage could result.
NOTICE: If new wheel tilt spring (51) is to be installed, grease spring (51) and spring guide (50).
1. Install spring guide (50), spring (51), and spring retainer (52) to steering column housing (46).
2. Align securing tabs on spring retainer (52) with slots in tilt spring hole.
