Pre Trip – Engine Compartment
Steering Linkage
Tip: {SD} {MH}
Note: Make sure you mention any castle nuts and cotter pins that are securing them!
There are a number of components I am going to address together. They include:
- Steering Shaft
- Pitman Arm
- Drag Link
- Steering Knuckle
- Tie Rod
“The steering linkage components I am inspecting include a steering shaft, a pitman, a drag link, a steering knuckle, and a tie rod. None of these show Sign Of Damage and there does not appear to be any Missing Hardware. The castle nuts are secure and locked in place with a cotter pin.”
