Firebird V8-305 5.0L (1982)
Steering Gear: Adjustments
Gear Adjustments on Car
When the steering gear is thought to be out of adjustment, a quick check can be made by moving the steering wheel back and forth with short slow
motions at the ``on-center'' position with engine shut off. Excessive looseness felt or heard indicates that either the pitman shaft or the thrust bearing
requires adjustment.
On car steering gear adjustments are not recommended for General Motors vehicles. Steering gear adjustments are made
with the steering gear removed from the vehicle as outlined under ``Bench Adjustments.''
