MAINTENANCE
Steering Wheel Inspection
Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth operation at the intervals
outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 44.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right. There should be 0.8"-1.0" (20-25 mm) of
freeplay at the outer rim of the steering wheel.
3. If there is excessive freeplay or strange noises, or the steering feels rough or “catchy,”
have the steering system inspected by an authorized GEM dealer.
Spring Adjustment
Adjust the rear shock absorber springs by rotating the adjustment cams
either clockwise or counter-clockwise to increase or decrease spring
tension.
