11.2 STEERING STABILIZER CYLINDER
(DAMPER)
The steering damper is located on R.H. side, aft
of front axle (Fig. 19).
The cylinder is non-adjustable and non-repairable.
Check for oil leaks or lack of resistance.
Disconnect the cylinder from axle, then carefully
attempt to extend and collapse it manually.
MAINTENANCE
Steering damper ball joint (rod end) is provided
with a grease fitting for pressure lubrication.
This grease fitting should be serviced every
6,250 miles (10 000 km) or twice a year
whichever comes first.
Check the ball joint for wear, and replace if
necessary.
Good quality lithium-base mineral grease NLGI

11.3 DRAG LINK
Visually inspect drag link components for broken
clamps, loose nuts and gauges on tube from
rubbing parts.
MAINTENANCE
Drag link ends (ball joint) are provided with
grease fittings for pressure lubrication. These
grease fittings should be serviced every 6,250
miles (10 000 km) or every 3 months
whichever comes first.
To prevent corrosion from forming around the
ball pin (particularly the drop type ball joint as
it is exposed to dirt and water), remove the old
grease bead and assure sufficient grease is
applied to purge the old grease and fill the
joint and dust seal.
Good quality lithium-base mineral grease NLGI
No. 2 like Shell Retinax LX are recommended.
