Steering Wheel Inspection
Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth operation at
the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page
46.
1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right.
3. There should be 0.8"-1.0" (20-25 mm) of freeplay.
4. If there is excessive freeplay or strange noises, or the steering feels
rough or "catchy," have the steering system inspected by an authorized
Yours dealer.
Shock Spring Adjustment
The front and rear shock absorber springs are adjustable to increase or
decrease spring tension. Rotate the adjuster either clockwise or counter-
clockwise to make adjustments. Always apply the same adjustment setting to
all four wheels
.
WARNING!
Uneven adjustment may cause poor handling of the vehicle,
which could result in an accident. Always adjust both the left and right spring
preloads equally or have your dealer perform the adjustments.
