WITH ELECTRIC MOTOR: Inspection
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
^ Check each part of steering column assembly for damage or other malfunctions. Replace if necessary.
^ Measure steering column assembly rotating torque using a preload gauge [SST: ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)]. Replace steering column assembly if outside the standard.
Standard
Rotating torque: Refer to ST-53, "Steering Column Operating Range". Steering Column Operating Range
^ Measure the length (L) as shown, if vehicle has been involved in a minor collision. Replace steering column assembly if out side the standard.
Standard
L: Refer to ST-53, "Steering Column Length". Steering Column Length
