The fit of the steering shaft coupling on the steering gear shaft may not be correct. Due to overmachining in the bore of the coupling, the joint may be loose and may lead to accelerated wear and deterioration in performance.

The remedy

Two different kits will be provided free of charge. One kit IS used to inspect vehicles already built and the other IS used to replace the component, if it has been determined to be defective.
