WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Reference: STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN COMPONENTS
CAUTION:
The steering column assembly can be easily damaged during and after removal. To avoid damaging the steering column, be sure to take the following precautions when removing it and when setting it down after removal:
- Never drop the column assembly on its end. This could collapse the steering shaft or loosen the plastic shear pins that maintain the design length of the column.
- Do not lean the column assembly against something. This could cause it to bend or deform.
- Do not loosen the steering column assembly mounting nuts when the steering lower shaft assembly upper joint bolt is still tightened. This could cause damage to the shaft joint bearing.
