wheel. Notice any increased steering
effort or looseness in the steering
wheel, or change in its straight-ahead
position.

slightly or “pulls” to one side when trav-
eling on smooth, level road.
• When stopping, listen and check for
strange sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-
to-push” brake pedal.

the frequencies indicated to help ensure
safe, dependable operation of your vehi-
cle.
