While operating your vehicle:
Note any changes in the sound ofthe exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased steer-
ing effort or looseness in the steer-

Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when traveling on smooth, level
