If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
• an improperly inflated tire
• uneven tire wear
• loose or worn suspension components
• loose or worn steering components
• improper steering alignment
A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may also make the steering
seem to wander/pull.

Speed sensitive steering

The steering in your vehicle is speed sensitive. At high speeds, steering

driving at a constant vehicle speed, have the power steering system
checked by your authorized dealer.
