How to Service and Repair the Steering Shaft on Ford Focus?

The repair process of steering column shaft starts with rotating the steering wheel to straight position while switching off the ignition. When removing the steering column shaft, preventing any movement of the column protects the Clock Spring from damage. However, if column rotation occurs the Clock Spring needs replacement with subsequent recentering. The first step is to uninstall the upper steering column shaft-to-steering column bolt before replacing it with a new one secured at 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.). You should take the upper steering column shaft-to-lower steering column shaft bolt out and replace it with a new one while tightening it to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). The technician should complete the process by removing and disassembling the upper steering column shaft.

How to service and repair the lower steering shaft on Ford Mustang?

A vehicle should be set in the NEUTRAL gear and positioned on a hoist before starting lower steering column shaft service and repair work. Begin by taking out the steering column bolt which joins the steering column shafts and discard it before installing the new bolt with a torque of 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). The steering column coupling bolt should be removed before discarding it but it needs a torque of 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) when reinstalling. The two dash boot bearing nuts need removal before installation where torque should be set at 9 Nm (80 inch lbs.). Collapse the upper column shaft until you disconnect the coupling from the lower shaft before uninstalling the lower column shaft. The final step includes executing the opposite procedure to finish the process. Carefully monitor the steering column to avoid its rotation because disconnection of the shaft might damage the Clock Spring. The necessary repair includes removing and resetting the Clock Spring after any rotation occurs.

How to service and repair the steering shaft on Ford Ranger?

Service and repair of the steering shaft should start by hoisting the vehicle with neutral transmission. The intermediate shaft must stay disconnected to prevent steering column shaft rotation because this movement could harm the Clock Spring. In case of rotation the Clock Spring needs to be removed and centered back. Begin the repair of the steering column by superior steering column shaft-to-upper steering column shaft bolt removal then fold down the lower steering column shaft. Reinstall the connection by tightening it to 55 Nm (41 ft. lbs.). The upper steering column shaft-to-steering column bolt must be removed first before extracting the upper steering column shaft and throwing away the bolt. The fastening of this bolt needs to reach exactly 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.) during reinstall. The lower steering column shaft-to-steering gear bolt should be removed before extracting the lower steering column shaft and discarding the bolt. The installation torque value for this connection should be set at 55 Nm (41 ft. lbs.). The process completion requires following the removal procedure in reverse order.
