For 1990-2009 cars

### Adjustment Procedure

1. Raise the front wheels of the vehicle.
2. Center the steering wheel.
3. Loosen the adjuster plug lock nut (1).
4. Turn the adjuster plug (1) clockwise until the plug bottoms in the housing, then back off 35-45 degrees.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

5. Hold the adjuster plug (1) stationary, then tighten the adjuster plug lock nut (2).

Tighten
Tighten the adjuster plug lock nut to 70 N·m (50 lb ft).

6. Verify that the steering wheel returns properly to the center after the adjustment is made.
