not in steering knuckle. Check steering gear, pump and
column.
(b) If reading is more than 25 foot-pounds (34
N»m), turning effort is excessive. Proceed to next step.
(10) Disconnect tie rod from both steering knuckles.
(11) Install 1/2 x 1 inch bolt, flat washer, and nut in
tie rod stud mounting hole in one steering knuckle.
Tighten bolt and nut securely.
(12) Assemble and install socket and 0-50 foot-pound
(68 N#m) capacity torque wrench on bolt previously in
stalled in steering knuckle.
NOTE: The torque wrench must be positioned at a 90
degree angle to the steering knuckle arm.
(13) Rotate steering knuckle slowly and steadily
through complete arc and measure torque required to
turn knuckle.
(14) Install bolt, flat washer, nut, torque wrench and
socket on opposite steering knuckle and measure torque
required to rotate knuckle.
(a) If reading is less than 10 foot-pounds (14
N«m), steering effort is within specifications and fault is
not in knuckle ball studs. Check for tight or damaged tie
rod ends, lubricate or replace as necessary, and proceed
to next step.
(b) If torque reading is more than 10 foot
pounds (14 N»m), turning effort is excessive. Proceed to
Ball Stud Preload Correction procedure.
(15) Install tie rod. Tighten tie retaining nuts to 35
foot-pounds (47 N«m) torque and install replacement
cotter pins.
(16) Install connecting rod. Tighten connecting rod
retaining nuts to 60 foot-pounds (81 N»m) torque on CJ
and Scrambler models and 75 footpounds (102 N«m)
torque on all other models. Install replacement cotter
pins.
(17) Install front wheels.
(18) Lower vehicle.

(9) Install and tighten upper ball stud slotted nut to
10 to 20 foot-pounds (13 to 27 N«m) torque to draw lower
ball stud into tapered hole in axle yoke. Do not install
upper ball stud split ring seat at this time.
(10) Tighten replacement lower ball stud jamnut to
80 foot-pounds (108 N»m) torque.
(11) Remove upper ball stud slotted nut and install
replacement split ring seat using Tool J-23447. Tighten
seat to 50 foot-pounds (68 N«m) torque.
(12) Install slotted nut on upper ball stud. Tighten
nut to 100 foot-pounds (136 N»m) torque. Align and
install cotter pin without loosening slotted nut.
NOTE: If the cotter pin holes in the nut and stud are
not aligned, tighten the nut (only) to align the holes.
Never loosen the nut to align the holes.
(13) Install front axle shafts and steering spindles
loosely and measure turning effort of each steering
knuckle as described in Ball Stud Preload Measurement.
(a) If turning effort is less than 10 foot-pounds
(14 N«m) torque, proceed to next step.
(b) If turning effort is more than 10 foot-pounds
(14 N«m) torque, replace upper and lower ball studs and
repeat Ball Stud Preload Correction procedure.
NOTE: If the Ball Stud Preload Correction Procedure
is repeated, tighten split ring seat to 50foot-pounds (68
N^m) torque. Also, tighten the slotted nut on the upper
ball stud to 80 foot-pounds (108 N^m) torque.
(14) Install front axle shafts.
(15) Connect tie rod to steering knuckle arms.
Tighten tie rod end retaining nuts to 45 foot-pounds (61
N«m) torque and install replacement cotter pins.
(16) Attach connecting rod to tie rod. Tighten con
necting rod end retaining nut to 60 foot-pounds (81 N«m)
torque on CJ and Scrambler models and 75 foot-pounds
(102 N«m) torque on all other models.
(17) Connect steering damper to tie rod, if equipped.
(18) Install front wheels. Tighten wheel retaining
nuts to 80 foot-pounds (108 N«m) torque.
(19) Lower vehicle.
