FRONT SUSPENSION
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
LUBRICATION
Two grease fittings are provided (one in each spindle housing). Lubricate these fittings at the recommended
interval with the proper lubricant.
See Periodic Lubrication Schedule, Section 10, Page 10-4.
CAUTION
• To ensure proper lubrication, raise front of vehicle to lubricate. See General Warnings,
Section 1, Page 1-1.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Wheel alignment is limited to equalizing the camber angle of each front wheel and adjusting toe-in of the front
wheels.
NOTE: Prior to making any front suspension adjustments, inspect components for wear or damage and
repair or replace as necessary.
Camber Adjustment
1. Check each front wheel with a framing square. At the floor (or ground), there should be an equal amount
of space between each tire and the framing square (Figure 7-14, Page 7-11) .
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the four bolts (17) that secure the leaf spring (13) to the bottom spring plate
(16) (Figure 7-19, Page 7-16). See also Figure 7-15, Page 7-11 .
3. Loosen, but do not remove, the hex nut (8) on the adjustment eccentric (7) (Figure 7-15, Page 7-11) in
the center of the spring. See also Figure 7-19, Page 7-16.
4. Use a 7 mm deep well socket to rotate the eccentric (Figure 7-15, Page 7-11) .
5. After adjusting camber, use a crisscross pattern to tighten the four spring retaining bolts (17)
(Figure 7-19, Page 7-16) to 23 ft-lb (31 N·m). Then roll the vehicle forward one full tire revolution and
recheck the camber. See also Figure 7-14, Page 7-11 .
6. Tighten the hex nut (8) on the adjustment eccentric (7) to 10 ft-lb (13.5 N·m) (Figure 7-15, Page 7-11)
