14.
Prevent movement of the adjusting screw and torque the lock nut to 29-52 inch-pounds.
15.
Test drive on a level road to verify that the steering wheel returns to center when the steering wheel is released from a turn (approximately 20
degrees). Also, verify that the steering shimmy was corrected by driving on the road surface where the incident was diagnosed.
16.
If less pre-load is needed (to achieve steering wheel return-to-center after a turn)- based upon the results of the test drive detailed in Step 15, you
may loosen the pre-load position of the adjusting screw, up to the 90 degree position.
Or, if more pre-load is needed to reduce shimmy, you may tighten the adjusting nut up to the 20 degree position.
NOTE:
The pre-load range of adjustment is 20-90 degrees loose, from the baseline established at Step 11.
17.
Road test, again, to confirm shimmy complaint is resolved and steering wheel will return to center after a turn.
18.
If the above procedure is not successful, please call the FIXS Hotline for assistance.
