Installation Instructions for Electric Steering Column:
NOTICE: YOU MUST SECURE YOUR STEERING COLUMN AT FIREWALL AND DASHBOARD
DROP. INJURY MAY RESULT FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION
1. After removing your stock steering column assembly, you can install and mock up the location of your
new column. To do this you must mount the upper part of the column with a steering drop of your
choice {not included} mounted securely to the dash assembly.
2. You must also mount the lower part of the column tube securely at the firewall using a mount plate
and clamp or similar part.
3. Once the mock up is complete and you’re happy with the position of the column you can look to see
where your final length on the column tube and shaft need to be.
4. After you know where you need to cut the shaft and tube. Place a piece of masking tape over the
column tube to protect it and with a pipe cutter or similar tool cut the tube where you marked it.
5. Once the tube is cut, you can now cut the final length on the shaft. NOTE: Make sure to leave enough
of the shaft hanging out of the tube to capture a u-joint. Keep in mind the tube gets a plastic bearing
installed in it to hold the shaft in place.
6. Once you have the shaft cut to length you will need to grind a notch in it for the u-joint bolt to go
through. To do this, slip the u-joint over the shaft and make it flush with the inside of the joint. With a
marker make a dot on the shaft where the bolt hole on the u-joint goes through.
