Removal and Installation: Installation

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse the lock nut.
When installing the steering column, finger-tighten all of the lower bracket and joint bolts; then tighten them to specification. Do not apply undue stress to the steering column.

NOTE:

With the wheels in the straight ahead position, align the slit (1) of the lower joint with the projection (2) on the dust cover. Insert the joint until surface (A) contacts surface (B).
