• loose or worn steering components

• improper steering alignment

If any steering components are serviced or replaced, install new

fasteners (many are coated with thread adhesive or have prevailing

torque features which may not be re-used). Never re-use a bolt or nut.

Torque fasteners to specifications in Workshop Manual.

A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may also make the steering

seem to wander/pull.

TRACTION-LOK AXLE (IF EQUIPPED)

This axle provides added traction on slippery surfaces, particularly when

one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions, the

Traction-Lok axle functions like a standard rear axle. The axle may

exhibit a slight noise or vibration in tight turns with low vehicle speed.

This is normal behavior and indicates the axle is working.

PREPARING TO DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than

other types of vehicles.

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely

to die than a person wearing a safety belt.

Your vehicle has larger tires and increased ground clearance, giving the

vehicle a higher center of gravity than a passenger car.

Vehicles with a higher center of gravity such as utility and

four-wheel drive vehicles handle differently than vehicles with a

lower center of gravity. Utility and four-wheel drive vehicles are not

designed for cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any more

than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under

off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed and abrupt

maneuvers in these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously could result in

an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal

injury and death.

Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may handle

differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions such as

slower speeds and increased stopping distance should be taken when

driving a heavily loaded vehicle.
