Execution order
1. Place the wheels straight.
2. Have your assistant turn the steering wheel left and right around the center position – you will hear a knocking or clicking sound.
3. At the same time, carefully and slowly turn the set bolt to the right (screwing) until the clicking noises inside the car disappear.
4. Test drive: the steering should not be difficult to move in any position, much less jam. Otherwise, replace the steering gear.
