Steering Column - Description

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: The steering column on vehicles with an automatic transmission may not be equipped with an internal locking shaft that allows the ignition key cylinder to be locked with the key. Alternative methods of locking the steering wheel for service will have to be used.
The standard tilt steering column has been designed to be serviced as an assembly. The column is connected to the steering gear with an upper and lower intermediate shaft. The upper shaft has a support bearing mounted to a bracket. The bracket mounts to the dash panel wall with two nuts. These shafts and bearing are serviceable. The key cylinder, switches, clock spring, trim shrouds and steering wheel are serviced separately.
