Grasp top and bottom of tire and rock. If excessive
motion is present, check wheel bearing adjustment. If
adjustment is satisfactory, a worn king pin/bearing is indi
cated.
Remove the spindle assembly and clean the king pin
bushings (22) with solvent (Ref Fig. 13 on page E-9). If
the inside diameter of the bushings are worn to .880" (22
mm) or greater, the bushings should be replaced. Press
out the old bushings and press new ones into the spindle
until flush with the spindle housing.

Tool List
Qty. Required
Floor jack ..................................................................... 1
Jack stands ................................................................. 2
Wheel chocks .............................................................. 4
Box end wrench, 1 1/4" ............................................... 1
Tape measure .............................................................. 1
Chalk ........................................................................... 1
Lift the front of the vehicle and support on jack stands as
per Section 'B'. Confirm the alignment of the springs as
described in 'Front Spring Installation'.
Rotate each wheel and scribe or chalk a line around the
circumference of the tire at the center of the tread pat
tern. Lower the vehicle and roll it forward approximately
five feet in order to allow the tires to take their normal
running position.
Measure the distance between the chalk lines at both the
front and rear of the tires (Ref Fig. 14 on page E-9). The
measurement taken at the front of the tire should be 1/4"
(6 mm)± 1/8" (3 mm) less than the rear. Manufacturing
tolerances may cause some variance, however typical
dimensions would be 33 1/2" (85 cm) front and 33 3/4"
(86 cm) rear.

To adjust the wheel alignment, first turn the steering
wheel to the left until it stops. Look at the drivers side
spindle arm (1) (Ref Fig. 14 on page E-9) and see if it is
touching the 'U' shaped bracket at the front axle. If not,
adjust the drivers side tie rod (2). Loosen the tie rod jam
