POWER STEERING GEAR MOUNTING BOLT
ISOLATOR
The removal and installation of the mounting bolt
isolator must be performed with the steering gear
assembly removed from the vehicle.
The steering gear mounting bolt isolators (Fig. 30)
are a serviceable component of the steering gear
assembly. Both isolator bushing are serviced using
the same procedure listed below but only the rear
mounting bushing is shown.
DISASSEMBLY
(1) Using a screwdriver, pry the sleeve out of the
mounting bolt isolator (Fig. 30).
(2) Pry the mounting bolt isolator bushing from
the steering gear mounting bracket.
ASSEMBLY
(1) Lubricate replacement mounting bolt isolator
bushing using Mopar, Silicone Spray Lube or an
equivalent.
(2) Install the mounting bolt isolator bushing into
the steering gear mounting bracket from the bottom
side of the bracket (Fig. 31).
(3) Install mounting bolt isolator bushing sleeve
into isolator bushing by pressing the sleeve into the
bushing by hand (Fig. 32).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
STEERING COLUMN
DESCRIPTION
The steering column used in this vehicle is a tilt
type (Fig. 1). It has been designed to be serviced only
as an assembly if it is determined to be defective.
The replaceable components mounted on the steering
column assembly are the key cylinder, ignition
switch, multi-function switch, clockspring, speed con-
trol switches, lock cylinder trim ring, SKIM module,
trim shrouds, driver airbag and steering wheel.
These replaceable components of the steering column
can be serviced without requiring removal of the
steering column from the vehicle. The steering col-
umn intermediate shaft can also be serviced sepa-
rately from the steering column.
OPERATION
Turning of the steering wheel is transferred through
the steering column and intermediate shaft, to the
power steering gear pinion shaft. The gear then moves
the steering knuckles, steering the vehicle.
STEERING COLUMN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT
DESCRIPTION
The steering column intermediate shaft is located
between the steering column and the power steering
gear. It has a flexible joint at each end. Later models
have 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.
Depending on whether it is an early or later produc-
tion model vehicle, the connection to the power steer-
ing gear differs. Early models use a intermediate
shaft with a slap coupler connection at the steering
gear pinion shaft (Fig. 2). Later models use a slider-
stage style intermediate shaft (Fig. 3). The two inter-
mediate shafts are not interchangeable because of
the steering gear’s pinion shaft shape. Both early and
later shafts use a pinch bolt to secure the shafts to
one another at the steering gear.
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 flex when rotating.
