ABSTRACT:
A fixture and method for checking whether a steering column alignment mark is properly placed. The fixture includes a wheel member that is affixed to a spline adaptor and that carries a range marker. The range marker has a length that corresponds with an acceptable deviation. The fixture is rotatably linked to the steering column, and then the steering column, by manipulation of the vesture, is rotated the maximum amount in one direction, and then the position of the range marker is compared to a fixed reference. Based upon this comparison, it is determined whether the alignment mark is properly positioned on the steering column.
