Dana Spicer Axles
CAUTION
Use regulated pressure when lubricating the
knuckle assemblies, otherwise damage could re-
sult to the knuckle caps.
Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the parking
brakes, and chock the wheels. When lubricating
upper and lower knuckle assemblies, do not raise the
front axle. Wipe the fittings clean, then apply multi-
purpose chassis grease, NLGI Grade 1 (6% 12-
hydroxy lithium stearate grease) or NLGI Grade 2
(8% 12-hydroxy lithium stearate grease), until new
grease is seen at the junctions of the axle beam and
knuckles. See Fig. 6. Knuckle pins without grease
fittings are permanently lubricated.

33–07 Basic Inspection, Meritor
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, set the park-
ing brakes, shut down the engine, and chock the
rear tires.
2. Raise the vehicle until the front tires are clear of
the ground. Support the vehicle with safety
stands.
Never work under a vehicle that is supported only
by a jack. Jacks can slip, causing the vehicle to
fall. This could result in serious injury or death.
IMPORTANT: A clicking sound while rotating the
wheel end (hub) is normal and does not indicate
a problem.
