2008 Cadillac Escalade ESV Steering Column

Inspect the capsules on the steering column bracket assembly. All capsules must be securely seated in the bracket slots and checked for any loose conditions when pushed or pulled by hand. If not, the bracket should be replaced if bolted to the jacket assembly. If the bracket is welded to the jacket assembly replace the jacket assembly. Inspect for jacket assembly collapse by measuring the distance from the steering column support bracket mounting plate to the lower edge of the jacket lower bracket. Replace the jacket assembly if the measured dimensions are less than 286 mm.
