4. After installation, check the correct position of the steering wheel on the shaft. When the car is moving in a straight line, the steering wheel should be positioned symmetrically relative to the vertical plane of the steering shaft. If necessary, adjust the position of the wheel by rearranging it on the splines of the shaft.
