Removal And Installation: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Nissan Altima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

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

NOTE: Align slit of the coupling joint with projection on dust cover. Insert the joint until surface A contacts surface B.

After installation, turn steering wheel to make sure it moves smoothly. Ensure the number of turns are the same from the straight-forward position to left and right locks. Be sure that the steering wheel is in a neutral position when driving straight ahead.
