ididit Universal Steering Column: Universal Tilt - Manual (Page 5)

for full synchronization is as follows:
1. The front wheels must be pointing straight forward with the steering
toe set reasonably close.
2. Rotate the input shaft of the gearbox or rack from lock to lock and set
the box exactly half way between. For example, if the shaft rotates
three full turns from lock to lock. The center will be at 1½ turns from
either locked position.
3. Install the steering arm and drag link, and adjust tie rod ends to get the
drag link to fit without moving either the box/rack or the front wheels.
Rotating each tie rod end the same number of turns will preserve
adjustment.
4. With the column mounted in position and two joints are used on a
shaft, the forks of the yokes
closest to each other should be
in line, or “in phase”. Premature
wear or binding can result if the
u-joints are not phased properly.
Sometimes if the u-joints are at
a severe angle, even if they are
phased correctly, a hard spot in the steering may occur for no apparent
reason. If this happens, index the u-joints two or three splines in one
direction. The hard spot should disappear or be minimized.
5. Install the shaft or joint on the gear box/rack. Leave the upper part of
the shaft unconnected for the time being.
6. Position the column
housing so that the signal
switch arm is level to the
left hand side.
7. Install the column
through firewall, into
your joint.
8. To achieve proper
synchronizing of your
column the finished
installation of your
column should look like
