Introduction
Some customers may experience a steering flutter condition while driving at highway speeds. In most cases, this concern is caused by flat spots that can
normally develop in the tires after sitting for long periods of time. To minimize the effects of flat spotting and other minor tire irregularities, a new repair
procedure has been developed that includes installing improved components to help reduce steering flutter complaints.
