DIAGNOSIS
GENERAL DIAGNOSIS
Problems in the steering, the suspension, the tires, and
the wheels involve several systems. Consider all systems
when diagnosing a complaint. Some problems, such as
abnormal or excessive tire wear and scuffed tires, may be
the result of hard driving. Always road test the vehicle first.If possible, do this road test with the customer.
Proceed with the following preliminary checks. Correct
any substandard conditions.
Preliminary Checks
ChecksAction
Inspect the tires for improper pressure and uneven wear.Inflate the tires to the proper pressure.
Inspect the joint from the steering column to the steering
gear for loose connections or wear.Tighten the intermediate shaft pinch bolts. Replace the in-
termediate shaft as needed.
Inspect the front and the rear suspension, the steering
gear, and the linkage for loose or damaged parts.Tighten the front and the rear suspension. Tighten the
steering gear mounting bracket bolts. Tighten the coupling
flange pinch bolts. Replace the front and the rear suspen-
sion as needed. Replace the steering gear as needed. Re-
place the intermediate shaft as needed.
Inspect for out–of–round tires.Perform a free runout test. Match–mount the tires.
Inspect for out–of–balance tires, bent wheels, and worn or
loose wheel bearings.Balance the wheels. Replace the wheels. Replace the
wheel bearings.
Check the power steering pump serpentine belt tension.Tighten the power steering pump serpentine belt.
Inspect the power steering system for leaks. Check the
power steering fluid level.Repair any leaks. Perform a power steering gear test. Add
power steering fluid.
Car Lead/Pull
ChecksAction
Inspect for mismatched or uneven tires.Replace the tires.
Inspect for a broken or a sagging spring.Replace the spring.
Inspect for a radial tire lateral force.Check the wheel alignment. Switch the wheels. Replace
the tires as needed.
Check the front–wheel alignment.Align the front wheels.
Inspect for an off–center steering gear.Reseat the pinion valve assembly. Replace the pinion
valve assembly as needed.
Inspect for front–brake dragging.Adjust the front brakes.

Abnormal or Excessive Tire Wear
ChecksAction
Check the front–wheel and the rear–wheel alignment.Align the front and the rear wheels.
Inspect for excessive toe on the front and the rear wheels.Adjust the toe on the front and the rear wheels.
Inspect for a broken or a sagging spring.Replace the spring.
Inspect for out–of–balance tires.Balance the tires.
Inspect for worn strut dampeners.Replace the strut dampeners.
Check for a failure to rotate tires.Rotate the tires. Replace the tires as needed.
Check for an overloaded vehicle.Maintain the proper load weight.
Inspect for low tire inflation.Inflate the tires to the proper pressure.
Scuffed Tires
ChecksAction
Inspect for incorrect toe on the front and the rear wheels.Adjust the toe on the front and the rear wheels.
Inspect for a twisted or a bent suspension arm.Replace the suspension arm.
Wheel Tramp
ChecksAction
Inspect for an out–of–balance tire or wheel.Balance the tire or the wheel.
Inspect for improper strut dampener action.Replace the strut dampeners.
Shimmy, Shake, or Vibration
ChecksAction
Inspect for an out–of–balance tire or wheel.Balance the tire or the wheel.
Inspect for excessive wheel hub runout.Measure the hub flange runout. Replace the hub as need-
ed.
Inspect for excessive brake drum or brake rotor imbal-
ance.Adjust the brakes. Replace the brake rotor or the brake
drum as needed.
Inspect for worn tie rod ends.Replace the outer tie rods.
Inspect for wheel trim imbalance.Balance the wheel.
Inspect for a worn lower ball joint.Replace the lower ball joint.
Inspect for excessive wheel runout.Measure the wheel runout. Replace the wheel as needed.
Inspect for excessive loaded radial runout on the tire and
wheel assembly.Match–mount the tire and wheel assembly.
Hard Steering
ChecksAction
Check the steering gear preload adjustment.Perform a rack bearing preload adjustment.
Check the hydraulic system. Test the power steering sys-
tem pressure with a gauge.Replace the seals and the hoses as needed.
Inspect for binding or catching in the steering gear.Lubricate the steering gear. Repair or replace the steering
gear as needed.
Inspect for a loose steering gear mounting.Tighten the steering gear mounting bracket nuts.
