NHTSA also states that the preload of the worm gear spring was set too high, which results in higher friction and fluctuating torque when steering. The recall documents describe warning signs as ...
Furthermore, the worm gear’s spring preload was set too high, leading to an increased sliding force between the components. Consequently, the combination of reduced grease film thickness and ...
In addition, the worm gear spring preload was set improperly high, increasing the sliding force between the components. As a result of the reduced grease film thickness and increased sliding force ...
Compounding the issue, "the worm gear spring preload was set improperly high, increasing the sliding force between the components." In short, the increased friction makes the vehicles harder to ...
