Because the jam nut may be below torque spec, it could loosen and result in wheel alignment (toe) changing while driving. Drivers may notice a squeak noise when turning or hitting bumps, a loose feeling in the steering, or shaking in the steering wheel on bumps. In extreme cases the tie rod end could become disconnected, resulting in a loss of steering control. Perform toe adjustment and secure all fasteners to correct torque.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10147333-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10147333-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10147333","components":[{"id":"steering","name":"Steering","parent":null},{"id":"steering-column","name":"Steering column and wheel","parent":"steering"},{"id":"tie-rod","name":"Tie rods and steering linkage","parent":"steering"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"CHEVROLET","model":"EQUINOX","year_from":2019,"year_to":2019,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2019_chevrolet_equinox"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
