(2) Using a lint free towel, wipe clean open power
steering hose ends, power steering pump and steer-
ing gear ports. (3) Install new O-rings or sealing washers on the
ends of the power steering hoses. Lubricate O-rings
or sealing washers using clean power steering fluid. (4) Attach power steering hose to proper connec-
tions at power steering pump and steering gear. Cor-
rectly route power steering hoses avoiding tight
bends or kinking of the hose. Install power steering hose to crossmember routing bracket.
Hoses must
remain away from exhaust system, vehicle com-
ponents and unfriendly surfaces causing pos-
sible damage to power steering hoses. (5) Tighten all fasteners shown for specific applica-
tions in (Fig. 1 to 4) to their correct torques listed
below:
² Pump End Banjo Bolt Ð 34 N Im (25 ft. lbs.)
² Pump End Tube Nut Ð 34 N Im (25 ft. lbs.)
² Gear End Tube Nuts (2) Ð 34 N Im (25 ft. lbs.)
² Crossmember Bracket Bolt Ð 23 N Im (17 ft. lbs.)
² Pump Bracket Nut Ð 40 N Im (30 ft. lbs.)
² Gear Bracket Bolt Ð 68 N Im (50 ft. lbs.)
(6) Install vehicle's wiring harness connector (if ap-
plicable to vehicle being serviced) onto the power
steering pressure switch (Fig .1&2).
(7) When used, protective sponge sleeves must be
properly positioned on power steering hoses. This is to
prevent hose contact with other components. (8) After hose is installed, check for leaks. (See
Pump Installation).

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS A SENSITIVE,
COMPLEX ELECTRO-MECHANICAL UNIT. BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO DIAGNOSE, REMOVE OR IN-
STALL THE AIR BAG SYSTEM COMPONENTS YOU
MUST FIRST DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE
BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE. FAILURE
TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL DE-
PLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG AND POSSIBLE PER-
SONAL INJURY. THE FASTENERS, SCREWS, AND BOLTS, ORIGI-
NALLY USED FOR THE AIR BAG COMPONENTS,
HAVE SPECIAL COATINGS AND ARE SPECIFI- CALLY DESIGNED FOR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM.
THEY MUST NEVER BE REPLACED WITH ANY
SUBSTITUTES. ANYTIME A NEW FASTENER IS
NEEDED, REPLACE WITH THE CORRECT FASTEN-
ERS PROVIDED IN THE SERVICE PACKAGE OR
FASTENERS LISTED IN THE PARTS BOOKS. BEFORE SERVICING A STEERING COLUMN
EQUIPPED WITH AN AIR BAG, REFER TO GROUP
8M, ELECTRICAL FOR PROPER AND SAFE SER-
VICE PROCEDURES.
Safety goggles should be worn at all times
when working on steering columns.
19 - 28 STEERING Ä

The Acustar tilt and standard column (Fig. 1) has
been designed to be serviced as an assembly; less wir-
ing, switches, shrouds, steering wheel, etc. Also, most
steering column components can be serviced without re-
moving the steering column from the vehicle.
CAUTION: Disconnect negative (ground) cable from
battery, before servicing any column component.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the pivot pins
to disassemble the tilting mechanism. Damage will
occur.
STEERING COLUMN SERVICE PROCEDURES
To service the steering wheel and its components
or the air bag, refer to Group 8M, Restraint Systems.
Follow all WARNINGS. To service the switches, refer to the appropriate
section of Group 8, Electrical.
To replace the steering column assembly, refer to the
steering column removal procedure. For location of com-
ponents referred to in the procedure see (Fig. 1).
WARNING: BEFORE BEGINNING ANY AIR BAG
SYSTEM COMPONENT INSTALLATION OR RE-
MOVAL PROCEDURES. REMOVE AND ISOLATE
THE NEGATIVE (-) BATTERY CABLE (GROUND)
FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY. THIS IS THE ONLY
SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM.
FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD RESULT IN ACCI-
DENTAL AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
STEERING COLUMN REMOVAL
(1) Make sure the front wheels of the vehicle are
in the straight ahead position.
(2) Disconnect the negative (ground) cable from
the battery and isolate cable. (3) For vehicles equipped with a column shift. Dis-
connect the transmission shift cable from the steer-
ing column by prying it out of the grommet in the
shift lever (Fig. 2). (4) Remove the steering wheel center pad. Discon-
nect electrical components such as horn lead, air bag
lead and speed control switch lead (if equipped) from
center pad (Fig. 3). (5) Remove the steering wheel retaining nut from
the steering column shaft. Remove steering wheel
from shaft using Puller, Special Tool C-3428-B (Fig.
4). Do not bump or hammer on steering column
shaft to remove wheel. (6) Remove the lower steering column cover (Fig.
5). (7) Remove the retaining pin in the upper to lower
steering coupler retaining bolt (Fig. 6).

(16) Connect the battery ground (negative) cable.
Test the operation of the lights and horns. If applica-
ble, reset the clock and radio.
STEERING COLUMN COMPONENT SERVICE
The Acustar tilt and standard steering columns
(Fig.1) have been designed to be serviced as an as-
sembly; less wiring, switches, shrouds, steering
wheel, etc. Also most steering column components
can be serviced without removing the steering col-
umn from the vehicle. For additional information on
electrical components refer to Group 8H Electrical.
GEAR SHIFT LEVER
The gear shift lever (if equipped) is a serviceable
component of the Acustar steering column assembly.
REMOVE (1) Support the steering column assembly as
shown in (Fig. 1) using a suitable size socket. (2) Using a drift of the appropriate size drive the
roll pin out of the steering column and gear shift le-
ver (Fig. 1). Remove the gear shift lever from the
steering column assembly.
INSTALL (1) Support the steering column assembly as
shown in (Fig. 1) using a suitable size socket. (2) Install the gear shift lever into the steering col-
umn assembly. Align the roll pin holes in the gear
shift lever and the steering column assembly. (3) Carefully Install the roll pin into the steering
column assembly and through the shift lever. If the
roll pin binds check the alignment on the holes. Be
sure roll pin is fully installed into the steering col-
umn assembly.
IGNITION SWITCH SERVICE
TEST AND REPAIR
If the ignition switch effort seems to be excessive
due to binding. Follow the procedure outlined below
to determine the cause.
When service procedures are performed on the
Acustar steering column there are certain areas of the
column that can not be tampered with. If a problem re-
lated to these areas of the steering column are detected.
The entire steering column (less the removable compo-
nents) should be replaced see (Fig. 2 and 3).
(1) Remove ignition switch from steering column.
Refer to Group 8H Electrical.
(2) Using a key cylinder, check the turning effort
of the switch.
² If the ignition switch binds look for the following
conditions.
