TIE ROD END / WHEEL HUB INSPECTION
• To check for play in the tie rod end
q
, grasp the
steering tie rod, pull in all directions feeling for
movement.
• Replace any worn steering components. Steering
should move freely through entire range of travel
without binding.
• Elevate front end of machine so front wheels are off
the ground. Check for any looseness in front wheel/
hub assembly by grasping the tire firmly at top and
bottom first, and then at front and rear. Try to move the
wheel and hub by pushing inward and pulling outward.
• If abnormal movement is detected, inspect the hub and
wheel assembly to determine the cause (loose wheel
nuts or loose front hub nut).
WHEEL TOE ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
NOTICE
Make sure tire pressures are set the same on the right
and left tires.
1.
Place machine on a smooth level surface and set
steering wheel in a straight ahead position. Secure
the steering wheel in this position.
2.
Place a chalk mark on the center line of the front tires
approximately 10 in (25.4 cm) from the floor or as
close to the hub/axle center line as possible.
NOTICE
It is important the height of both marks be equally
positioned to get an accurate measurement.
3.
Measure the distance between the marks and record
the measurement. Call this measurement “A”.
4.
Rotate the tires 180° by moving the vehicle forward.
Position chalk marks facing rearward, even with the
hub/axle center line.
5.
Again measure the distance between the marks and
record.
Call
this
measurement
“B”.
Subtract
measurement “B” from measurement “A”. The
difference between measurements “A” and “B” is the
vehicle toe alignment. The recommended vehicle toe
tolerance is
1/8-1/4 in (3.2-6.4 mm)
toe out. This
means the front of the tire (A) is
1/8-1/4 in (3.2-6.4
mm)
wider than the measurement at the rear (B).
MEASUREMENT
Wheel Toe-Out (A) - (B):
1/8-1/4 in (3.2-6.4 mm)
