Replace the jacket assembly if the measured dimensions are not within specifications.

Any frame damage that could cause a bent steering shaft must have the steering shaft runout checked. Using a dial indicator at the lower end of the
steering shaft, rotate the steering wheel. The runout must not exceed 1.60 mm (0.06 inch).
