An assembly aid is required so that the upper and lower parts of the steering column do not pull apart when pulling off steering gear.
If the upper and lower parts of the steering column are pulled too far apart or pushed too close together the splines separate.
It is possible that rattling noises are created later if the splines are not in their original installation position.
