5-2 TIRES - WHEELS - SUSPENSION Most tire, wheel, and suspension related problems are due to excessive loads, extreme conditions, and improper maintenance. Tire, wheel, and suspension problems can be easily detected and solved by check- ing the following guide. For maintenance procedures, see Sections 4-6, 4-9, 4-10, and 4-11. SYMPTOM PROBLEM: REMEDY VIBRATIONS WHILE DRIVING...
Page 57
TIRES - WHEELS - SUSPENSION (CONTINUED) SYMPTOMS PROBLEM: REMEDY BENDING OR WARPING Curb-hopping or potholes: adjust turning practices and adjust speed accordingly with road conditions. Improper tightening sequence: follow proper tightening se- quence. (See Figure 4-.) BROKEN STUDS* Over tightening: use correct torque when mounting. Under torque: Use correct torque and tightening sequence when mounting.
Page 58
BRAKES (CONTINUED) SYMPTOM PROBLEM: REMEDY SINGLE BRAKE DRAGGING Broken internal brake component: locate and replace broken OR LOCKED part. Flat spot on cam roller or cam shaft: replace and lubricate. Improper adjustment: adjust slack adjusters. Spider bushing or cam bracket bushing binding: lubricate or re- place bushing.
Page 59
BRAKES (CONTINUED) SYMPTOM PROBLEM: REMEDY INSUFFICIENT BRAKES Brakes need adjusting: adjust brakes. Brakes need lubricating: lubricate brakes. Brakes need relining: reline brakes. Low air pressure: troubleshoot air system. Defective relay emergency valve: repair or replace. Brakes overheated: stop and allow brakes to cool, locate cause of overheating.

5-4 BRAKE DRUMS For maintenance procedures, see See Sections 4-8. SYMPTOM PROBLEM: REMEDY EXCESSIVE LOSS OF BRAKES Overheated brake drums: check for defective or misadjusted OR FADING brake linings, distorted or over-machined drums. Also check for operating conditions or loads that create severe or excessive brake applications.
