Checking For Pull And Wander

If the steering pulls to one side, rotate the tires according to the following wheel rotation procedure.
1. Rotate the front right and front left tires, and perform a road test in order to confirm vehicle stability.

2. If the steering pulls to the opposite side, rotate the front and rear tires, and perform a road test again.

On some vehicles which drift or pull to the right only, the following procedure may be applied for fixing.
1. Adjust tire pressure as recommended below (4 tire) prior to conducting road test.
  Tire inflation pressure : 2.1 kgf/cm² (30 psi)
  
  Front 215/45 ZR 17 tire only : 2.2 kgf/cm² (32 psi)
2. To eliminate the pulling, rotate the front tires and test drive the vehicle to see if the pulling returns.
3. If a vehicle still exhibits the pulling to the right, replace the right front strut insulator with the re-designed new part (Part No. 54610-2C000A) which increases the caster angle. See FRONT SUSPENSION .

NOTE:

This procedure applies to the vehicle pulls to the right only.
Confirm the direction of the vehicle pulling by road testing prior to performing the repair procedure.
If Michelin tires are installed, do not rotate the tires because they are directional. Replace the right front strut insulator only.
