This minimally noticeable increase in steering forces is perceived as a slight, brief resistance. After overcoming this brief resistance when steering out of the steering wheel center position, no permanent increase in steering forces is noticeable.
- [B360121](/bulletins/11000563.md), 2024-05-30, Service bulletin: STEERING. At low outside temperatures \(below 40 degrees F\) and slow driving speeds \(i.e. when parking, maneuvering\)with a large steering angle, the front end can be slightly axially misaligned.

At low outside temperatures \(below 40 degrees F\) and slow driving speeds \(i.e. when parking, maneuvering\)with a large steering angle, the front end can be slightly axially misaligned. This can be felt \(jerking\)/ heard via an acoustic acknowledgement \(clunk\) as seen at the 11 second mark of the video. See attached video V36 01 21.
