33–05 Knuckle Pin Lubrication,
Dana Spicer Axles
CAUTION
Use regulated pressure when lubricating the
knuckle assemblies, otherwise damage could re-
sult to the knuckle caps.
Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking
brakes, and chock the wheels. When lubricating
upper and lower knuckle assemblies, do not raise the
front axle. Wipe the fittings clean, then apply multi-
purpose chassis grease, NLGI Grade 1 (6% 12-
hydroxy lithium stearate grease) or NLGI Grade 2
(8% 12-hydroxy lithium stearate grease), until new
grease is seen at the junctions of the axle beam and
knuckles. See
Fig. 6 . Knuckle pins without grease
fittings are permanently lubricated.
33–06 Tie Rod Lubrication,
Dana Spicer Axles
For any Dana Spicer axle that requires lubrication of
the tie-rod ends, wipe the grease fittings clean, then
pump multipurpose chassis grease, NLGI Grade 1
(6% 12-hydroxy lithium stearate grease) or NLGI
Grade 2 (8% 12-hydroxy lithium stearate grease),
into the tie-rod ends until all used grease is forced
out and fresh grease is seen at the ball stud neck.
33–07 Basic Inspection, Meritor
Unitized Wheel Ends
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, set the park-
ing brakes, shut down the engine, and chock the
rear tires.
2. Raise the vehicle until the front tires are clear of
the ground. Support the vehicle with safety
stands.
WARNING
Never work under a vehicle that is supported only
by a jack. Jacks can slip, causing the vehicle to
fall. This could result in serious injury or death.
IMPORTANT: A clicking sound while rotating the
wheel end (hub) is normal and does not indicate
a problem.
