INTERMEDIATE SHAFT
DESCRIPTION
The steering column intermediate shaft is located
between the steering column and the power steering
gear. It has a universal joint at each end. It has a
slider-stage in the center portion of the shaft.
The steering column intermediate shaft fastens to
the steering column’s splined shaft using a roll pin.
It uses a pinch bolt to secure the shafts to one
another at the steering gear (Fig. 15).
OPERATION
The steering column intermediate shaft connects
the steering column shaft to the power steering
gear’s pinion shaft. It’s flexible joints allow the shaft
to universal when rotating.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - STEERING
COLUMN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT
The steering column intermediate shaft and its
universal joint couplers (Fig. 1) must be inspected
whenever any of the following conditions exist:
• After the vehicle has been involved in a collision
which deploys the airbag, regardless of the extent of
damage done to the vehicle.
• After the vehicle has been involved in an under-
carriage impact which results in any type of damage
to the front suspension crossmember.
• Under any conditions which result in the steer-
ing column assembly or steering column shaft receiv-
ing a force great enough to move the steering column
or shaft forward of rearward in a vehicle.
Inspect the intermediate shaft and its universal
joint couplers for any of the following conditions:
• seized or binding bearings
• loose bearing stakes
• bearings not fully seated in the coupler yoke
• bent intermediate shaft
Presence of any of the above faulty conditions call
for replacement of the entire steering column inter-
mediate shaft.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove fuse panel cover from left end of
instrument panel.
(2) Remove center bezel surrounding radio and cli-
mate control panel.
(3) Remove screw attaching bezel to instrument
panel behind climate control panel. Remove bezel.
(4) Remove
outside
mirror
switch
bezel
from
instrument panel.
(5) Remove silencer panel below steering column
knee bolster.
(6) Remove
screws
attaching
knee
bolster
to

(9) Disconnect the intermediate shaft from the
steering gear shaft. To do so, remove the pinch bolt
from the intermediate shaft coupler (Fig. 15), then
slide the intermediate shaft up and off the steering
gear shaft.
(10) Turn the steering wheel 90° to the LEFT.
This is done to allow proper roll pin removal tool
installation.
(11) Using a steering wheel holder, lock the steer-
ing wheel in this position. This is done to keep the
clockspring from turning, losing its center. It
will also help hold the shaft steady while
removing the roll pin.
(12) Install Remover/Installer, Special Tool 6831-A,
through center of roll pin in intermediate shaft’s uni-
versal joint and install knurled nut (Fig. 16).
(13) While holding hex on end threaded rod,
tighten the nut on threaded rod of Remover/Installer.
This will pull the roll pin out of the intermediate
shaft’s universal joint.
(14) Using a screwdriver inserted between the
shaft’s universal joint and the steering column lower
mounting bracket, gently pry intermediate shaft off
steering column shaft.
INSTALLATION
(1) Start roll pin into universal joint prior to
installing intermediate shaft on steering column
shaft. Install roll pin into just far enough to square
roll pin to hole in universal joint. If roll pin is
installed too far, universal joint will not slid onto
steering column shaft.
(2) Install intermediate shaft on steering shaft
until correctly positioned to allow roll pin to be
installed in coupler.
(3) Install Remover/Installer, Special Tool 6831-A,
through center of roll pin and install knurled nut as
shown (Fig. 17).
(4) Using Remover/Installer (Fig. 17), install roll
pin into the coupler until roll pin is fully and evenly
installed through both sides of the coupler assembly.
(5) Remove the steering wheel holder and turn the
steering wheel 90° to the right so that the steering
wheel is back in the straight-ahead position. Do
not allow the steering wheel to turn any fur-
ther or in any other direction; clockspring cen-
ter will be lost and clockspring centering
