46–00 Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions in this section apply to all
procedures within this group.
DANGER
When working on the vehicle, shut down the en-
gine or motor, set the parking brake, and chock
the tires. Before working under the vehicle, always
place jack stands under the frame rails to ensure
the vehicle cannot drop. Failure to follow these
steps could result in serious personal injury or
death.
46–01 Drag Link Lubricating
NOTICE
If a power washer is used to clean the chassis in
the area of the drag link ends, you must adjust the
drag link lubrication intervals. If the vehicle is
power-washed often, you must lubricate the drag
link more frequently.
1. Using a clean rag, wipe the dirt from both grease
fittings on the drag link. See
Fig. 1 .
2. Using a pressure gun, apply multipurpose chas-
sis grease at the grease fittings until old grease
is forced out of the socket.
NOTE: Use multipurpose chassis grease NLGI
grade 1 (6% 12-hydroxy lithium stearate grease)
or NLGI grade 2 (8% 12-hydroxy lithium stear-
ate grease). The grade 2 chassis grease is
preferred.
46–02 Power Steering Hose
Checking
Check the power steering hoses for chafing. Also,
check for leakage around the fittings. Replace any
damaged hoses, and tighten all fittings to stop leak-
age.
46–03 Steering Driveline
Lubricating
Wipe the grease fittings clean. See Fig. 2 . Using a
pressure gun, apply a lithium-based grease (NLGI
grade 2) sparingly to the universal joints and slip-joint
splines.
46–04 Steering Gear Bolts
Torque Checking
Tighten the steering gear mounting bolt nuts, pitman
arm pinch-bolt nut, and steering driveline end yoke
pinch-bolt nuts to the specifications in
Table 1 . See
Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 . After the end yoke pinch-bolt nuts
have been torqued, apply white Torque Seal F–900
to the exposed pinch-bolt thread and locknut.
