Preliminary Inspection

1. With the vehicle in motion, place the transmission in NEUTRAL and turn the engine OFF.
- If the vehicle does not pull with the engine OFF, repair or replace the steering gear.

2. If the vehicle pulls with the engine OFF, cross-switch the front wheels.
3. If the vehicle pulls to the opposite side, cross-switch the front and rear wheels on the same side.
4. If the vehicle pull direction does not change, check the front suspension components, wheel alignment and frame alignment.
