Inspect tie rods, steering arms, and the
drag link for signs of looseness (i.e., shiny
spots or rust tracks).

Check the steering gear mounting bolts
and pitman arm nut, if equipped, for signs
of looseness. See

Check the drag link nuts for missing cotter
pins.

could rapidly cause damage to engine compo-
nents.
