• To check for play in the tie rod end, 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
hub/wheel 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).
• Refer to Chapter 7 “Final Drive” for front hub
service procedures.
