For 1990-2009 cars only
Inspect for sheared steering shaft plastic pins. Some indications of shearing are as follows:
| • | The shaft rattles when struck lightly from the side. |
| • | Lash may be felt when rotating the steering wheel while holding the rag joint. |
The vehicle can be safely steered if the steering shaft pins are sheared due to a minor collision without serious damage to the other components. However, the replacement of the steering shaft is recommended.
