Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Steering Gear

If shimmy has been experienced, replace the steering gear sector shaft with Repair Kit (F6AZ-3575-AA) as outlined in the appropriate Service/Workshop Manual

Check the steering gear for presence of meshload. With the front wheels off the ground, hold the tire and turn the tire side-to-side slowly. The effort should increase when turning the tire straight ahead. If no increase in effort is noted, perform the procedure as outlined in Section 11-02B of the Service/Workshop Manual to check and adjust the meshload.
