Warranty tire replacement hasn't yielded improvements.
As far as I can tell stem bearings are NOT loose. There is no lateral or axial play with front off the ground.
However, all the info I've read on the web doesn't help to understand how loose is TOO loose.
A good analogy is differential pinion bearings preload. It is checked with rotational torque and adjusted accordingly.
My question is how much rotational torque "preload" must there be for steering stem bearings to be in normal operational range?
P.S I've read FSM on how to adjust steering. It doesn't seem difficult.
Cheers...
