CLEANING AND INSPECTING

NOTE: Whenever a part is worn excessively,
cracked, or damaged in any way, replacement is nec-
essary.
1. Clean shock pivot and idler wheel axle in part-clean-
ing solvent. Dry with compressed air.
2. Clean the idler wheel bearings with a clean cloth.
3. Closely inspect the pivot bracket arm and axle for
cracks, wear, bends, or elongated holes.
4. Inspect the idler wheels for signs of cracking, wear,
or outer rubber separation from plastic wheel.
5. Rotate the idler wheel bearings (by hand) and inspect
for any signs of binding or roughness.
6. If the idler wheel has a removable bearing and the
bearing must be replaced, see Idler Wheels/Mount-
ing Blocks - Cleaning and Inspecting in this sub-sec-
tion.
7. Inspect the shock absorber for any signs of oil leak-
age especially at the point where the shock shaft
enters the shock body.
8. Inspect the rubber shock bushings located in the
shock absorber eyelets for cracks or deterioration.
9. Inspect the shock absorber eyelet welds (at each end)
for any cracks or signs of separation.
10. Inspect the welds securing the eyelets of the shock
links for cracks or signs of separation. If either con-
dition exists, replace the shock link.
11. Inspect the axle surfaces for any signs of corrosion.
If corrosion is found, lightly buff the surface of the
axle with #400 wet-or-dry sandpaper; then apply a
light coat of grease.
ASSEMBLING
1. Secure the shock rod links (with axles) and the lower
end of the shock absorber to the idler wheel/pivot
assembly with the cap screw and lock nut. Tighten
securely.
