or damaged components.
With the steering wheel at the centered position
(Figure 51), turn the steering wheel to the left or right.
If you turn the steering wheel more than 13 mm (1/2
inch) to the left or right, and the tires do not turn, check
the following steering and suspension components to
ensure that they are not loose or damaged:
•
Steering shaft to the steering-rack assembly joint
Important:
Inspect the condition and security
of the pinion-shaft seal
•
Steering-rack assembly tie rods
