WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Infiniti QX56. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
- When installing the steering column, finger-tighten all of the lower bracket and joint retaining bolts; then tighten them to specification. Do not apply undue stress to the steering column.
- The lower nut on the upper joint may not be reused.
NOTE:
Align slit of the coupling joint with projection on dust cover. Insert the joint until surface "A" contacts surface "B".
- After installation, turn steering wheel to make sure it moves smoothly. Make sure the number of turns are the same from the straight-forward position to left and right locks. Make sure that the steering wheel is in a neutral position when driving straight ahead.
- When installing steering column to steering member, install mounting nut from front side of vehicle.
