FAULT DIAGNOSIS STEERING STABILITY AND VEER UNDER
BRAKING
Possible cause:
Incorrectly set, swivel pin bearing preload. There are
three different settings for these bearings dependant
on model year and if fitted with ABS brakes.
Remedy.
1.Establish model year of vehicle.
2.If fitted with or without antilock brakes.
3.Follow instructions to overhaul front stub axle,
constant velocity joint and swivel pin non ABS,
or with ABS as appropriate.
