CAMBER, the outward tilt of the front wheels at the top. CASTER, the backward
or forward tilt of the spindle pins at the top.
WHEEL TOE-IN, the setting of the front wheels closer together at the front than at
the rear.
Accurate gauges and carefully calibrated equipment are necessary to check and
correct alignment. Therefore, it is suggested that any service requirements be referred
to your Authorized Hudson Dealer who is best qualified to do this type of work.
FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS
The front wheel bearings are of the tapered roller type, adjustable to
compensate for wear and are adequately sealed against lubricant loss.
ADJUSTMENT — To check for
looseness, raise the front end of the
car and shake the wheel back and
forth. If there is excessive looseness,
adjustment should be made as fol-
lows :
Remove outer and inner hub caps
(A) and (B), Fig. 47, using a pry.
Remove cotter pin holding nut (C).
Turn nut to the right until a slight
drag is felt when turning the wheel
by hand. Loosen nut just sufficiently
to permit wheel to turn freely. Insert
cotter pin, replace hub caps and
lower car to floor.
LUBRICATION—Every 10,000
miles the bearings should be re-
moved, cleaned, and repacked with
four ounces of milled sodium soap base lubricant. Adjust bearings as
instructed under "Adjustment."
STEERING GEAR
The steering gear, Fig. 48, is of the worm and double roller tooth design. The worm
revolves in two adjustable tapered roller bearings. The double roller tooth is mounted
on needle roller bearings. The roller tooth shaft on Series 171, 172, and 178 rotates in
two bronze bushings and on Series 173 and 174 needle roller bearings are used at this
point.
This design provides ease of steering with freedom from frequent adjustments.
Provisions for adjustments are, however, incorporated, should they be required after
extensive service.
