The defect

The clamp bolts on the adjuster tube that fastens the connecting rod to the pitman arm end assembly may be loose. These loose bolts could cause shifting of the steering wheel position, relative to the straight-ahead-front wheel position, and loss of steering.

The remedy

The dealer will tighten the bolts where necessary, and check and correct the steering wheel alignment free of charge.
