• Q: What should be inspected and repaired in accidents with potential steering column damage on 2000 Chevrolet Tracker?

  A: Vehicles that experience frame damage or sheet metal damage during accidents or encounters with steering columns or sir deployment require evaluation of the Steering Column position and inspection of the Steering Shaft and Steering Shaft coupling and lower Steering Shaft for possible damage. Proper repairs or component replacements need to be performed when necessary. The inspection process entails examining both the steering gear and Power Steering Pump in addition to the power steering fluid reservoir and steering gear boots as well as inner tie rods and outer tie rods and Steering Wheel for damage with appropriate replacement of damaged components. You should first remove the Steering Column trim covers before checking the Steering Column support bracket for conditions. Proceed to remove the Steering Column after finding any damage on its components. The last step of inspection consists of measuring the Steering Column length at the time of examination while you inspect both the Steering Column jacket and lower Steering Column Seal.
