Inspection And Adjustment; Toe-In Adjustment; Turning Torque Of 8 Bevel Pinion Shaft - Ezgo 1600xd Repair Manual

4. INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT

4.1 TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT

1. Park the vehicle on level ground, stop the engine
and apply the parking brake.
2. Lift the front axle slightly with a hydraulic jack and
set the front wheels in a straight ahead position.
3. Measure the distance between the front and rear
part of the front wheels (on hub level).
4. Adjust the toe-in so that the rear distance (B) is 2 to
8 mm longer than the front distance (A).
[ B - A = 2 ~ 8 mm (0.0787 ~ 0.3149 in.) ]
5. To adjust the toe-in, unscrew the mounting nuts
(1) at the ends of the tie rod, turn the tie rod end to
set the toe-in to the specification and tighten the
mounting nuts again.

4.2 TURNING TORQUE OF 8 BEVEL PINION
SHAFT
1. After tying the pinion shaft with a string, measure
the load by pulling the string down with a pull scale.
Load of pull scale .... 9.2 ~ 12.2 kgf
20.3 ~ 26.9 lbs
When measuring the load by engaging a torque
wrench to the spline of the spiral bevel pinion shaft:
Torque value ............ 0.88 ~ 1.176 Nm
0.09 ~ 0.12 kgf-m
0.65 ~ 0.87 lbf-ft
When measuring the load by a pull scale as shown in
the fi gure:
Load of pull
Torque value (T) (kgf-m)
=
Radius of spline shaft (R)
scale (F) (kgf)
0.09 ~ 0.12 kgf-m
F =
R (0.0098 m)
F = 9.2 ~ 12.2 kgf (20.3 ~ 26.9 lbs)
