Removal and Installation
CAUTION: The rotation of the spiral cable (SRS "AIR BAG" component part) is limited. If the steering gear must be removed, set the front wheels
in the straight-ahead direction. Do not rotate the steering column while the steering gear is removed.
^
Before removing lower joint from gear, set gear in neutral (wheels in straight-ahead position).
^
To install, set left and right dust boots to equal deflection. Raise steering gear and linkage assembly so plastic aligning tab on pinion shaft enters
bolt gap on lower joint assembly.
Service parts may not have plastic aligning tab.
