• Steering can become sluggish once components get dirty or “take a set” after running. Inspect the
rod ends of the turnbuckles to ensure they are properly aligned and not binding. You should be
able to grab a turnbuckle with your ngers and rotate it easily.
• Healthy gears are crucial to a properly functioning vehicle. If you hear your vehicle making very loud
noises, you should immediately stop and check the gears for foreign debris. Even a small pebble
can get lodged into the teeth of the pinion gear, which would practically destroy the spur gear in a
very short period of time.
