TIE-ROD AND DRAG LINK
Check tie-rod and drag link for breakage, bends and cracks, and
replace with a new one if necessary.
FIXING LOCATION
+Check ®xing location (nuts and cotter pins) for looseness, play
and breakage.
+When looseness or play is found, check for wear and tapered
portion of ball joints, pitman arm and knuckle arms.
+When reassembling each joint, use new cotter pins.
STEERING DAMPER
Check for oil leakage and measure damping force. Replace if nec-
essary.
