Steering Column Assembly Removal and Installation: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Suzuki Aerio, 2003 Suzuki Aerio, and 2002 Suzuki Aerio. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Once the steering column is removed from the vehicle, the column is extremely susceptible to damage.
- Dropping the column assembly on its end could collapse the steering shaft or loosen the plastic shear pins which maintain column length.
- Leaning on the column assembly could cause it to bend or deform.
Any of the damage could impair the column's collapsible design.
