Tools Required

J 41688 Centering Sphere Installer Tool

1. Install the steering column support assembly (1) to the steering column jacket assembly (3).

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the four torx screws (2).

Tighten
Tighten the screws to 17 N·m (13 lb ft).




3. Lubricate the centering sphere (1) with lithium grease.
4. Install the centering sphere (1) and the joint preload spring (2) into J 41688 .



5. Compress the centering sphere and joint preload spring. Rotate the driver 90 degrees in the clockwise direction until the arms lock in place.



6. Align the marks on the race and upper shaft assembly. Install the race and upper shaft assembly (1) into the J 41688 . Rotate the race and upper shaft assembly 90 degrees.
7. Install the race and upper shaft assembly (1) into the J 41688 . Rotate the race and upper shaft assembly 90 degrees.



8. Remove the race and upper shaft assembly with J 41688 .
9. Separate the race and upper shaft assembly with the centering sphere from J 41688 .



10. Apply lithium grease to the exposed shaft engagement areas on the centering sphere.
11. Install the lower steering shaft assembly to the race and upper shaft assembly.



12. Install the steering shaft assembly (2) into the steering column tilt head assembly (1).



13. Install the steering column tilt head assembly and steering column shaft assembly (1) to the steering column jacket assembly.
14. Install two pivot pins using on to the steering column support assembly.



15. Stake the pivot pin locations (1).



16. Align the adapter and bearing assembly (1) on the steering shaft assembly.
17. Install the adapter and bearing assembly (1) to the steering shaft assembly.




Important: The steering shaft assembly must be rotated to the center position or 12 o'clock position.

18. Install the hi res steering wheel position sensor assembly (1) to the steering shaft assembly in the following manner:

18.1.

Rotate the center of the sensor until the pin slides into the locating hole. It may take up to five revolutions.

18.2.

Push the sensor onto the steering shaft assembly until the sensor locating finger falls into the slot on the steering shaft assembly.
