What should be inspected and measured to determine if a steering column is damaged or misaligned after an accident on Buick Regal?

Car accident damage to the frame combined with severe body damage, sheet metal damage or impacts to the Steering Column and supplemental air bag deployment may result in a misaligned Steering Column.

An inspection of the Steering Shaft must be performed to look for sheared injected plastic; the replacement of a new Steering Shaft becomes necessary if sheared plastic materials are detected. A dial indicator should be used to examine the Steering Shaft runout through the lower end of the shaft while turning the wheel. All Steering Shaft runouts must stay below 0.06 inch (1.60 mm) as per specifications.

Vehicles sustaining frame damage together with major body damage or sheet metal damage or impact to the Steering Column or deployment of supplemental inflatable restraints systems might develop a damaged or misaligned Steering Column.
