No, I guess it wouldn't be in the manual. The vehicle that I purchased used had previously had a recall notice about the steering. They replaced the recirculating ball gear with rack and pinion. Of course, this all occurred before I purchased the vehicle, it only appeared on my carfax report. Not sure how many were recalled, mine is a very early '04 crossfire, originally built in May of 2003. I highly suggest you complain about this issue to the dealer in hopes for rack and pinion replacements, however, I'm sure that they corrected the issue with the recirculating ball gear that you queers keep talking about. So I'm flipping all of you off, and telling you to go shove it.
