ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION MOUNT (column 25) This refers to all engine and transmission mounts, but includes only complete separations. Partial separations and cracks do not qualify.

STEERING COLUMN FLEXIBLE COUPLING FLEXIBLE COUPLING TYPE (column 26) The flexible coupling may be composed of a flexible fabric or cable, or a collapsible universal joint or pot joint. Although usually located in the engine compartment, a portion or the entirety of this coupling may
be instead in the passenger compartment. All GM cars (starting with model year 1967) which have steering column energy absorbing devices
(“EAD’s” – see page 23 and 24) are also equipped with these SC-2, columns steering column flexible couplings. Most other vehicles are also equipped with them, whether or not they also have EAD1s. telescoping units or steering column

COUPLING DAMAGED (column 27) COUPLING SEPARATED ( column 28 ) If the Case Vehicle has no steering column flexible coupling, enter “not applicablen (8) in these two columns. (“1″ in column 28) unless the unit A separation cannot occur was also damaged (“1″ in column 27).

The measurement tolerance for the telescoping unit 15 mm. If there is a difference between the original and the telescoped or extended length of the unit of 15 mm or less, then enter “000″ in columns 31 through 33. If a U-joint or flexible cable serves both as the steering column flexible coupling and as the engine compartment telescoping unit, code it only as the former. In such cases, enter “00″ in columns 29 and 30, and “998″ in
31 through 33. This would include the Ford “mini-columns column,” for instance. As a general rule, all GM cars with a gear box in front of the forward axle have telescoping units, whereas those with the gear box behind that axle do not. “991″ if the telescoping unit was not measured,
Enter a visual inspection or other impact-related information but suggests that there was probably no compression. If there was apparent or suggested compression, but the exact mount could not be measured (for instance, the unit was inaccessible due to other impact damage, etc.), enter “992.” If the device was extended, enter “993.”
