•
To avoid abnormal changes in vehicle sound levels, it is necessary for
the owner to perform inspections and necessary maintenance at the
intervals shown in the
scheduled maintenance information.
STEERING - GENERAL INSPECTION
•
Ask your service technician to examine the steering mechanism. Only
minor adjustments may be necessary.
•
Check tie rod, drag link end clamp bolts and ball joints for proper
tightness.
•
Check for installation and spread of cotter pins and tightness of nuts
at both ends of the tie rod and drag link.
•
Check that pitman arm (steering arm at steering gear) mounting is
tight and locked. Check system for leaks or hose chafing. Repair at
once, if necessary.
•
Maintain proper steering gear and power steering pump lubricant
levels.
•
Regularly inspect steering column joint bolts and steering linkage,
particularly for body-to-chassis clearance.
Note:
Have any steering problems corrected at once by a qualified
service technician.
WARNING:
Failure to maintain the steering system in proper
condition can cause reduced steering ability resulting in property
damage, personal injury or death.
Tightening steering column joint bolts
As a good maintenance practice, it is recommended that steering column
joint bolts be checked for tightness. Refer to the
Scheduled
Maintenance Guide
chapter for service intervals.
Power steering
Whenever the power steering system has been drained and refilled for
any reason, air must be bled from the system before returning the
vehicle to service. Failure to properly bleed the system can result in
degradation of power steering performance.
Consult your dealer who is aware of the proper procedures for filling and
bleeding the system.
