Troubleshooting

Steering feels loose or has excessive play

This could indicate the steering rod assembly is not sufficiently tightened, has worn components, or the wheel alignment is off. Verify torque specifications and ensure a professional alignment has been performed.

Noises during steering (clunking, grinding)

While often related to other suspension parts, noises could indicate an issue with the steering rod assembly. Inspect for any physical damage or abnormal movement. Professional diagnosis is recommended.

Uneven tire wear

This is a common symptom of poor wheel alignment, which can be affected by the steering rod assembly. Ensure a proper alignment has been completed post-installation.

Difficulty steering or stiffness

Check for obstructions, ensure proper lubrication of adjacent components, and confirm the assembly is correctly installed and torqued. If the issue persists, other steering system components may be at fault.
