Steering Column: Inspection

  1. Inspect bushings for wear or scoring. Upper bushing can be replaced. Hanger bushing cannot be replaced. If hanger bushing is damaged, replace steering shaft as an assembly.
  2. Inspect steering shaft for warpage. If steering shaft is bent, replace. Check "U" joints for looseness. If loose or damaged, replace.
