What should be inspected and replaced in cases with frame damage or deployed inflatable restraint systems to ensure the steering column is not damaged or misaligned on Chevrolet Malibu?

Any collision that deforms the frame or causes major body or sheet metal damage or strikes the Steering Column would potentially harm and misalign the Steering Column. Similar problems can occur after supplemental inflatable restraint system deployment. Examine both the Steering Column bracket assembly capsules to make sure they fit firmly into the bracket slots and test for looseness by manual push or pull; replace the bracket through the jacket assembly if bolted but select a new jacket assembly when the bracket is welded. The jacket assembly should be replaced if the measurement from the lower edge of the upper jacket to its defined point on the bottom jacket exceeds specified dimensions. The inflatable restraint coil assembly must remain unhinged from the Steering Column before you rotate the shaft because this approach prevents coil assembly damage. A visual examination of the Steering Shaft must be performed to look for sheared injected plastic material; new Steering Shaft installation is required if sheared plastic components are detected. The steering runout measurement using a dial indicator must be checked at the Steering Shaft bottom while spinning the wheel and should not exceed 1.60 mm.

Apart from being one of the core parts of a vehicle, the Steering Column of the Chevrolet Malibu plays a critical role in relaying the correct angles and torques from the steering wheel to the steering mechanism for efficient performance of the vehicle. Besides pinioning, the steering column also plays other roles like an energy absorber and for fixing of other parts such as switches, gauges and the like during accidents. The steering lock feature was introduced in the late 1960s and has cut on car theft greatly in the current models of automobiles. Another aspect of the concept regarding safety includes the possibility of breaking the steering column, which effectively acts as a safety shield for the driver taking a considerable amount of the force of the impact. Considering federal laws and guidelines, steering columns of automobiles sold in the United States, China, and the European Union should include efficient theft protection and safety elements.
