REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE: Before performing this repair procedure, be sure to inform the customer that the new super grease is
very effective for noise, but it may change the steering and handling feel of their vehicle. Also, the
operation of the telescopic steering (if equipped) may feel slightly heavier after the repair.
1. Verify customer concern by changing steering column angle and length (telescoping only), then attempt to
duplicate clunk noise.
WARNING: Do not attempt to adjust the steering column angle or length while driving the vehicle. Be sure
to adjust the steering wheel only when the vehicle is stopped as you can lose control of the
vehicle if you change the steering tilt or position while driving.
2. Repeat Step 1 two (2) more times using different steering column angles and lengths (telescoping only),
then attempt to duplicate clunk noise.
- If clunk noise is gone, proceed to Step 3.
- If clunk noise is still present, do not proceed with this repair procedure. Troubleshoot other causes of
noise according to related sections of the Workshop Manual.
3. For telescopic equipped vehicle: Position steering shaft to most forward position.
4. Remove two (2) push-nuts securing joint cover.
5. Remove joint cover.
6. Remove pinch-bolt securing intermediate shaft.
7. Slide shaft toward A to remove from steering gear.
8. Slide shaft toward B to remove from tube.
