Checking Neutral Position On Steering Wheel: Checking

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check that the steering wheel is in neutral position when driving straight ahead.
  2. If it is not in neutral position, remove the steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
  3. If the neutral position is between two teeth, loosen tie-rod lock nuts. Turn the tie-rods by the same amount in opposite directions on both left and right sides.
