What should be inspected in accidents with frame damage or steering column issues on Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

Motor vehicles sustaining damage to their frame or major sheet metal or Steering Column impacts or deployments of supplemental inflatable restraints can have Steering Column malfunctions or misalignments. Examine all capsules on the Steering Column bracket assembly to verify their proper bracket slot seating while examining loose conditions through manual push and pull testing. The bracket must get exchanged only if the brackets are joined to the jacket assembly yet the capsules remain loose from their designated slots. When the capsule fails to seat properly on the bracket which is welded to the jacket assembly then the replacement should be limited to the jacket assembly. A measurement from the lower surface of the upper jacket to a specified mark on the lower jacket should be performed to detect any collapse in the jacket assembly and replacing the complete assembly when the measured values exceed specifications. A visual inspection should be performed on the Steering Shaft to identify sheared injected plastic; replacement of the Steering Shaft becomes necessary if sheared plastic is detected. The Steering Shaft needs runout measurement using a dial indicator at its lower end when the steering wheel rotates because frame damage that might warp the shaft exists. This runout should not exceed 1.60 mm (0.06 in.).

It links the steering wheel to the steering gear, with a view of passing signals and torque together with the right angles to result in the right response. Furthermore, the steering column of Monte Carlo vehicles comes set up with a collapsible type that will help protect the driver in an event of a crash; a tolerance ring which enabled a slow and gradual collapsing of the steering column in order to absorb the energy impact. The design also features universal joints and is designed following the federal standards on anti theft and safety features. Steering column problem is very dangerous and therefore requires timely check up or, if there are symptoms, then regular repair.
