Steering: Service Precautions






Electrical Components

Surely everyone has been shocked at one time or another when coming into contact with a metal object. The reason for this is the build-up of static electricity in the human body. This charge can lead to functional problems by touching the electrical components of steering gear.






- Touch a grounded object - for example a water pipe or a vehicle hoist - before working on electrical components. Do not make direct contact on connector terminals.
