Steering Gear Insulator

Steering Gear Insulator
1. With the wheel normally loaded (on the ground), check the steering gear housing for excessive lateral movement.
^ If the steering gear housing moves more than 1.5 mm (0.05 inch), the steering gear insulators may have deteriorated or the steering gear mounting nuts may have loosened. Tighten the steering gear mounting nuts.
^ If the steering gear housing movement is still excessive after tightening the gear mounting nuts, install new steering gear insulators.
