WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.govBefore purchasing and installing a steering center link, make sure it is the correct fit for your vehicle.
- Inspect or have your steering links inspected: worn steering links can upset the balance of your vehicle's steering system and cause other parts to wear faster. If this wear goes undetected or ignored, premature failure of system components can occur, threatening the integrity of your vehicle's steering system. Preventative inspection can help detect wear before it becomes a major problem.
- Whenever you replace or modify a front end or steering component in your vehicle, your alignment may be altered. Perform a full four-wheel vehicle alignment after steering components have been changed.
- Regularly inspect steering center link for signs of damage or wear and replace them if signs of damage are found.
Signs of wear for steering center links include but are not limited to:
- Steering difficulty: wandering steering while driving at speed may indicate worn steering links
- Excessive steering play: excessive movement or play in your vehicle's steering linkage may be a sign of steering link wear
- Unexpected noises: clunking noises while turning the steering wheel of your vehicle may signal steering link wear
- Alignment issues: an inability to set the proper alignment for your vehicle may indicate worn steering links
