Inspection

Column Shift:






(1) After cleaning, inspect all the components for wear and damage.
(2) Inspect the turn signal switch for distorted, broken or damaged components.
(3) Inspect the wire insulation for worn, chafed or bare wire areas.
(4) Inspect the steering shaft bearing for smooth operation and lubricate it with multi-purpose, NLGI grade 2 EP (extreme pressure) lubricant (e.g., MOPAR Multimileage Lubricant, or an equivalent lubricant). If the bearing has any evidence of roughness or wear, it should be replaced.
(5) Inspect the floor plate grommet and replace it if it is damaged.






(6) Inspect the steering column shaft for spline/thread damage and any defects.
