Steering Input Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda Tribute, 2003 Mazda Tribute, and 2002 Mazda Tribute. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To carry out this test, proceed as follows:

  1. Drive at the speed where the concern occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
  2. If the concern goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the axles of 4WD applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
  3. Proceed as necessary.
