Now move to the engine bay and verify the col-
umn is pointing directly at the gearbox. This is
easily accomplished by pulling the shaft out of
the column and up to the tip of the gearbox. If
this is misaligned move the column gently into
place. Once your close, get the U-joint and in-
stall it onto the gearbox. Now slide the column
down into the U-joint watching to index it on
the DD shaft properly. (See Figure 9)
If using Rack and pinion, see Tech Section 1
PG 9
With the U-joint installed go back inside the ve-
hicle and center the gasket with the mount and
tighten the three bolts to the fire wall (22 FT.
LBS.)
(Figure 9)
The last item in the column install is to tighten
the dash mount nuts. Verify the column is still
centered from left to right and tighten the two
nuts to 18 FT. LBS. This should be checked
with a torque wrench. (See Figure 10)
Tip..
Please follow the manufactures instructions on the U-joint installation. These
instructions vary by manufacturer. But when all is said and done, ididit recommends
that you use Locktite.
