INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Check if there is something wrong with jacket tube of steering column assembly and collar etc. And then if
they are damaged, replace with new one.

If vehicle has a collision light shocked, check column length “L”
as shown in the figure. Then if it is out of the specified value,
replace with new one.

Check the turning torque of steering column with preload gauge
(SST). If it is out of the specified value, repair it or replace with
new one.

5. Remove drive shaft from axle. CAUTION:
When removing drive shaft, do not apply an excessive angle to drive shaft joint. Also be careful
not to excessively extend slide joint.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Move joint up/down, left/right, and in the axial direction. Check
for any rough movement or significant looseness.

Check boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease
leakage.

If a trouble is found, disassemble drive shaft, and then replace
with new one.
INSTALLATION
Refer to RAX-9, "Removal and Installation" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.
