Bearing Adjustment
After jacking up the front axle and removing the hub cap, withdraw cotter key
holding nut (A), Figure 13. Turn nut (A) to the right until a slight drag is felt when
turning the wheel slightly by hand. Then
loosen the nut just sufficiently to permit
the wheel to turn freely. Insert cotter key.
Front Wheel Alignment
The front wheels should be adjusted
with zero to 1/8" toe-in measured 10"
from the ground. This adjustment is
made by loosening the clamp bolts in the
tie rod ends, Figure 12, and turning the
tie rod in a clockwise direction, as
viewed from the right, to increase toe-in
and in the reverse direction to reduce
toe-in.
A special tool is required to make this
measurement accurately. This adjustm-
ment is important for correct steering and to prevent excessive tire wear. Have
your Authorized Hudson and Terraplane Dealer check this alignment frequently.
Caster
The caster (backward tilt of the axle) should be from 2° to 3° and should he
equal within ½° at both front wheels.
By loosening nut (D), Figure 14,
removing capscrew (E) and replacing
shim (F) with a thicker shim caster is
decreased. Replacing shim (F) with a
thinner shim increases caster.
Camber
The camber (outward tilt of front
wheels) should he from 1° to 1½°.
Should any front axle parts become
bent, through accident, to such extent that
they cannot be straightened without heat-
ing, they should be replaced with new
ones. Heating will destroy the original
heat treatment of the parts and may result
in sagging or even breakage.
