How to Adjust the Heavy Steering Wheel of a Grand Cherokee?
1 Answers
Methods to adjust the heavy steering wheel of a Grand Cherokee are as follows: 1. Make a mark with chalk on the front tires, ensuring the marks on both front tires are at the same height. 2. Use a tape measure to measure the distance between the front tires and record this number. 3. Use a tool, such as an open-end wrench, to loosen the screw at the tie rod near the tire and tighten the tie rod by a few threads. 4. Push the car backward to the previously measured position and measure again to see the difference between the current measurement and the previous one. Adjust the tie rod by loosening or tightening accordingly. 5. After adjustment, use an adjustable wrench to secure one end and then tighten the screw with an open-end wrench to prevent the toe-in from shifting. 6. If the steering wheel is still heavy after adjusting the toe-in, it may be due to tire pressure, chassis issues, power steering pump problems, insufficient power steering fluid, or a faulty steering gear, which requires adjustment of the steering gear.
