The problem
The front steering alignment may not have been completed. The tie rods, a part of the steering linkage which transmits steering movements to the wheels, may not have been fastened completely. The alignment of the steering will affect the vehicle"s handling properties. Incomplete fastening of the steering tie rod may lead to complete separation of the linkage.
The fix
Tie rod clamp fasteners will be inspected. If necessary, the toe-in will be set, and the tie rod clamp fasteners will be tightened. There will be no charge for these services.
