When a
driver feels the steering control over his/her vehicle is not like it should
be, it is up to you to determine if there is a problem, and if so, figure out
what is causing it. It is always easier to fix something if you really
understand the trouble. Some ways you
could do this are:
Observation
& point out the trouble like "what, when, where, and how"
Make
sure you can feel or see the problem.
Walk
around the vehicle looking for anything that may be an obvious cause of the
problem.
Once you
have a good understanding of what the trouble is, choose the remedial chart
that best matches the symptoms described to you. Because there are different ways to say the
same thing, we have provided our definitions of the 10 most common trouble in
this section. Use these to determine
which section of the troubleshooting would be helpful to begin diagnosing the
steering system.
