6.
Retighten all engine/transaxle to cradle mount fasteners. Reconnect exhaust pipe.
At this point, the vehicle should be road tested again to determine if the torque steer condition has been corrected.
If road test indicates some torque steer still exists, shim the left hand transaxle mount (Refer to Figure 1) by 2 mm increments up to a maximum of 8 mm
using Part Number 1647076. Road Test after each increment to determine need for additional shimming. Check to ensure the left hand transaxle mount
interlock hook has a minimum clearance of 3 mm. There should be no metal to metal contact.

Front Position Tire Wear on Rear-Wheel-Drive Vehicles With All Season Tires
Some rear-wheel-drive vehicles may exhibit premature tire wear on the front tires. The wear usually starts on the outer tread row and may progress
across the full tread. This wear also usually appears as a heel and toe (high and low) wear pattern on individual tread blocks which can eventually lead to
tire noise and/or tire roughness.
Small amounts of heel/toe wear on the outer tread is considered normal. This wear is characteristic of new tires at full tread depth on free-rolling axles..
Turning and cornering exaggerates front tire wear. Routine tire rotation at 7,500 miles using the modified "X" method as shown in the Owner's Manual
will minimize the wear. Such tires can be expected to give optimum performance for their full intended life.
If this type of wear becomes excessive and/or results in a customer inquiry, the following procedure should be used:
