## What is wrong

THE DRAG LINKS MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED INCORRECTLY        ALLOWING DRAG LINK CLAMP BOLT TO AXLE BEAM INTERFERENCE.                                                                                                          CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: DURING A TURNING MANEUVER, INCREASED STEERING EFFORT OR   COMPLETE LOCKUP OF STEERING COULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING.  THIS COULD RESULT IN   LOSS OF TRUCK CONTROL AND A CRASH.


## The remedy

ASSURE THAT DRAG LINKS ARE INSTALLED TO CORRECT INTERFERENCE  CONDITION.


## Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS WITH DUAL STEERING SYSTEMS. SYSTEM: STEERING DRAG LINKS.
