When there is no load on the vehicle and the front tires are pointed straight ahead, the steering wheel spokes should be at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions, or within 10 degrees to either side. See Fig.. If the steering wheel is not aligned correctly, before operating the vehicle, check the steering system for wear or incorrect adjustment of the linkage and steering gear, or take the vehicle to an authorized Freightliner dealer for troubleshooting and repair.
