Steering Symptom Diagnosis

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Suzuki Vitara. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Since the problems in steering involve several systems, they must all be considered when diagnosing a complaint. To avoid using the wrong symptom, always road test the vehicle first.

Proceed with the following preliminary inspections and correct any defects which are found.

Raise vehicle on a hoist and inspect steering system for loose or damaged parts.
