The proper way is to inspect the capsules on the
Steering Column bracket assembly, inspect for jacket assembly collapse by measuring the distance from the steering column support bracket mounting plate to the lower edge of the jacket lower bracket, remove the SIR coil from the steering column and allow the coil to hang freely before the shaft is rotated, visually inspect the steering shaft for sheared injected plastic, and inspect the steering shaft runout for any frame damage that could cause a bent steering shaft.
