Q: What should be inspected on those involved in accidents that may have a damaged or misaligned steering column on Chevrolet Colorado?
A:
Any vehicle subjected to a collision that produces frame damage, major body damage, sheet metal damage, impacts to the Steering Column or activates supplementary inflatable restraints systems risks developing a misaligned or damaged Steering Column. Check for loose conditions in the Steering Column bracket assembly by hand test while examining the capsule placement in their bracket slots. Inspect the bracket attachment to the jacket assembly; bolted brackets require a replacement but jacket assemblies require replacement if the capsules fail to have proper seating. The measurement between the bottom edge of upper jacket and its designated mark on the bottom jacket must be taken to check for jacket assembly collapse; a new jacket assembly is required if the recorded dimensions differ from specifications. The inflatable restraint coil assembly which has been detached from the Steering Column needs free hanging space to protect the coil assembly integrity while rotating the shaft. The inspection of Steering Shaft should detect sheared injected plastic. If a Steering Shaft shows sheared plastic it must be replaced. A dial indicator test of the Steering Shaft runout at its bottom end must be performed to verify a 1.60mm (0.06inch) or less maximum deviation when the wheel is rotated.
Q: What should be checked for those involved in accidents that may have a damaged or misaligned steering column on Chevrolet S10?
A:
Any vehicle sustains frame damage and major body impacts and sheet metal collisions alongside Steering Column impacts or supplemental inflatable restraints system activation will potentially show signs of Steering Column misalignment or damage. Apply manual pressure to each capsule of the bracket assembly for the Steering Column to verify its secure seating in its slots and check for any loose conditions; replace the bracket if attached to the jacket assembly using bolts yet any looseness is noted or replace the jacket assembly if brackets are welded. A new jacket needs to be installed as the measured distance between the lower edge of the upper jacket and the defined lower jacket point shows a collapsed condition. You must take away the inflatable restraint coil assembly from the Steering Column before the shaft rotation in order to protect the coil assembly from harm. Check the Steering Shaft visually for sheared injected plastic. If plastic failure exists you must replace the Steering Shaft with a new one. Tests for frame damage should include using a dial indicator to check Steering Shaft runout at the lower end where the dial indicator measures less than .0025 inch (.0025 inch).
