Once the column is in place install

the upper and lower halves of the

dash mount loosely. (Figure 3)

Rack and pinion Installation:

Slide the gasket & floor mount

down the column tube with the

prongs of the floor mount facing

towards the engine compartment.

Align the floor mounts screw holes

with the original holes in the floor.

Align the gasket and install the 4

screws with the large washers.

Make sure the dash mount’s

alignment tab is engaged and

secure the mount with its two

fasteners. (Figure 3) Tighten the

two bolts that hold the column to

the dash. Now, from the engine

side install the clamp around the

column and the two tabs and tighten.

(Figure 4)

For the rack column, the lower interior

rubber trim piece (Figure 5A) will

have to be modified as there is no

way to slide the grommet into the

floor mount Figure 5B is the finished

trimmed part ready for installation.

Install the gasket loosely. Put a dab

of silicone or trim adhesive on the

inside where it meets the column to

secure it. You may want to put a piece of

tape around the grommet for 24 hours or

until it dries. Figure 6 shows the trimmed

part properly installed.
