Front Suspension STEERING AND FRONT SUSPENSION
FRONT SUSPENSION
See General Warnings on page 1-2.
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 Schedules on page 10-8.
CAUTION
• To ensure proper lubrication, raise front of vehicle to lubricate. See General Warnings on page 1-2.
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 7-5, Page 7-7) .
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the four bolts (17) that secure the leaf spring (13) to the bottom spring plate (16)
(Figure 7-11, Page 7-13) . See also Figure 7-6, Page 7-7.
3. Loosen, but do not remove, the hex nut (8) on the adjustment eccentric (7) (Figure 7-6, Page 7-7) in the center of
the spring. See also Figure 7-11, Page 7-13.
4. Use a 7 mm deep well socket to rotate the eccentric (Figure 7-6, Page 7-7) .
5. After adjusting camber, use a crisscross pattern to tighten the four spring retaining bolts (17) (Figure 7-11,
Page 7-13) to 37 ft·lb (50 N·m). Then roll the vehicle forward one full tire revolution and recheck the camber.
See also Figure 7-5, Page 7-7.
6. Tighten the hex nut (8) on the adjustment eccentric (7) to 10 ft·lb (13.5 N·m) (Figure 7-6, Page 7-7) . See
also Figure 7-11, Page 7-13.
