Steering Wheel Inspection
Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth operation at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
-
Position the vehicle on a level surface.
-
Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right. There should be 0.8-1.0 in (20-25 mm) of freeplay at the outer rim of the steering wheel.
-
If there is excessive freeplay or strange noises, or the steering feels rough or “catchy,” have the steering system inspected by an authorized GEM service dealer.
