## What is wrong

THE SPLINED COUPLING BETWEEN THE STEERING COLUMN AND      STEERING BOX COULD DEVELOP INTERNAL CORROSION DUE TO ITS EXPOSED POSITION AND    CHARACTERISTICS.                                                                                                                                                  CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: PROLONGED USE OF THE CAR COULD CAUSE DETERIORATION OF    THE COUPLING, VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING SYSTEM, AND HANDLING DIFFICULTY WHICH   COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.


## The remedy

REPLACE THE STEERING PINION EXTENSION WITH A NEW PREGREASED   PART INSTALLED WITH A NEW BOLT.


## Notes
