• | The horn tower on the cancelling cam assembly inner ring

• | The projections on the outer ring

2. Assemble the pre-centered coil assembly to the steering column. Remove the centering tab. Discard the tab.
3. Install the coil assembly retaining ring (2). Ensure that the ring is firmly seated in the groove on the shaft.
