Some vehicles may have an off center steering wheel but no right or left hand pulling. Customers complaining of this concern should have the vehicle
inspected and if necessary, repaired according to this bulletin.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1.
Test drive the vehicle on a straight road.
2.
Place the steering wheel in a neutral position. Do not apply any turning effort.
^
If the vehicle tracks straight and the steering wheel is NOT in a centered position, proceed to step 3.
3.
Use the outside circumference of the steering wheel to measure the distance between the center position and the neutral position.
^
If the measurement is more than 3O mm (1.18 in) remove the steering wheel and install it in the centered position. Refer to the workshop
manual for removal and installation procedures.
^
If the measurement is less than 30 mm (1.18 in):
a) Loosen both right and left hand tie-rod end lock nuts.
b) Turn the tie-rod ends in opposite directions by equal amounts, until the steering wheel is centered.
