Steering Input Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln MKX and 2010 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
- Drive at the speed where the symptom occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
- If the symptom goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the axles of Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
- If the source of the symptom has been identified as a result of this test, proceed to the appropriate information for further diagnosis and repair. If the source has not been identified, continue with the road test.
