Check the
capsules on the steering column bracket assembly: all must be securely seated
in the bracket slots and checked for any loose conditions when pushed or
pulled by hand. If not, the bracket should be replaced if bolted to the
jacket assembly. If the bracket is welded to the jacket assembly replace
the jacket assembly.

Check for jacket assembly
collapse by measuring the distance from the lower edge of the upper jacket
to a defined point on the lower jacket. If measured dimensions (A),
are not within specifications (100 mm), a steering column
must be installed.
