3. Thread the drag link rod (28) all the way onto the threaded stud of the inner ball joint assembly (3) (right-
hand threads)
(Figure 7-8, Page 7-8)
.
4. Thread the ball joint (23) into the drag link rod (28) (left-hand threads) to full thread depth
(Figure 7-8,
Page 7-8)
.
5. Install the ball joint (23) on the spindle arm riser (33), then install the retaining nut (25)
(Figure 7-8,
Page 7-8)
. Tighten nut to 21 ft-lb (28.4 N·m), then install a new cotter pin (22).
6. Adjust wheel toe-in
(see page 7-14)
and steering
(see page 7-6)
.
FRONT SUSPENSION
See General Warning on page 1-1.
LUBRICATION
Five grease fittings are provided (one in each spindle housing, one in the ball joint on each end of the tie rod,
and one in the ball joint of the steering drag link). Lubricate these fittings at the recommended interval with the
proper lubricant.
See Periodic Lubrication Schedules, Section 10, Page 10-4. See following CAUTION.
CAUT ION
• To ensure proper lubrication of the front suspension and steering linkages, raise front of
vehicle to lubricate. See General Warning, 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. There is also a drag link adjustment to equalize the turning radius in both directions.
See Steering
Adjustment on page 7-6. See following NOTE.
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. From the floor (or ground), they should be perpendicular
with a framing square
(Figure 7-15, Page 7-14)
.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the four bolts (30) that secure the leaf spring (6) to the bottom spring plate
(29)
(Figure 7-20, Page 7-18). See also Figure 7-16, Page 7-14
.
3. Loosen, but do not remove, the hex nut (8) on the adjustment eccentric (7)
(Figure 7-16, Page 7-14)
in
the center of the spring.
See also
Figure 7-20, Page 7-18.
4. Use a 7mm deep-well socket to rotate the eccentric
(Figure 7-16, Page 7-14)
.
5. After adjusting camber, tighten the four spring retaining bolts (30)
(Figure 7-20, Page 7-18)
to 23 ft-lb (31
N·m). Then roll the vehicle forward one full tire revolution and recheck the camber.
See also Figure 7-15,
Page 7-14
.
6. Tighten the hex nut (8) on the adjustment eccentric (7) to 10 ft-lb (13.5 N·m)
(Figure 7-20, Page 7-18)
See also Figure 7-16, Page 7-14
