Step 17. Install the steering servo from the left side of
the truck as shown. The servo should be installed with the ball
stud (21) to the top. Position the servo against the servo mount-
ing posts (40). Be sure that the pressure line is not interfering
with the steering servo.
Step 18. Place a #4 washer (39) over each of four

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not overtighten the screws!
The purpose of having the grommets is to absorb the shock
and vibration from the gas engine. Overtightening the screws
will prohibitthe grommets from working properly.
