Tighten the steering stem nut with 55 N·m (5.6 kgf·m, 41 ft·lb) of torque first, and loosen it a fraction of a turn until it turns lightly. Afterward tighten it again with specified torque using a steering stem nut wrench [A].
Check that there is no play and the steering stem turns smoothly without rattles. If not, the steering stem bearings may be damaged.
