What steps should be taken to inspect the steering column for potential damage after a collision on Chevrolet Astro?

Evaluation of the Steering Column must happen directly after a collision particularly when frame damage exists or body and sheet metal damage is significant and also when Steering Column impact occurs or supplemental inflatable restraint systems activate. First check that the Steering Column bracket capsules remain firmly seated within their slots and exhibit no loose behavior when performing hand tests on them; replace brackets by new ones across jacket assemblies when brackets are bolted or across jacket assemblies when they are welded. The distance between the lower edge of the upper jacket and the defined portion of the lower jacket must be checked to verify jacket assembly collapse; install a new jacket if measurements show out of spec. Procedure to rotate the shaft requires first freeing the inflatable restraint coil assembly from the Steering Column and then allowing it to hang free to protect from damage during shaft rotation. A visual inspection of the Steering Shaft needs to be performed for sheared injected plastic. If detected replace the shaft with a new one. Test the lower end of the Steering Shaft while rotating the wheel by using a dial indicator to measure runout since the measurement should not exceed 1.60 mm.
