Backlash of Bevel Gear in Front Wheel Case
1. Set a dial indicator (lever type) on the shaft (Kingpin).
2. Move the shaft (Kingpin) by hand and measure the
circumferential play of the shaft.
3. Calculate the backlash from the ratio of the shaft diameter to the
gear diameter. (Backlash = Play x 2)
4. If the backlash exceeds the allowable limit, adjust with the shims
(1).
