STEERING AND FRONT SUSPENSION

FRONT SUSPENSION

See General Warnings on page 1-1.

LUBRICATION

Two grease fittings (one in each spindle housing) are provided. Lubricate these fittings at the recommended interval
with the proper lubricant. See Periodic Lubrication Schedules, Section 10, Page 10-7.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Wheel alignment is limited to equalizing the camber angle of each front wheel and adjusting toe-in of the front wheels.
There is also a drag link adjustment to equalize the turning radius in both directions. See Steering Adjustment on
page 7-6. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Prior to making any front suspension adjustments, inspect components for wear and damage and repair or
replace as necessary.
Camber Adjustment
1. Check each front wheel with a framing square. At the floor (or ground), there should be an equal amount of space
between each tire and the framing square (Figure 7-14, Page 7-15).
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the four nuts (32) that secure the leaf spring (6) to the bottom spring plate (29)
(Figure 7-19, Page 7-19). See also Figure 7-15, Page 7-15.

3. Loosen, but do not remove, the hex nut (8) on the adjustment eccentric (7) (Figure 7-19, Page 7-19) in the
center of the spring. See also Figure 7-15, Page 7-15.
4. Use a 7 mm deep well socket to rotate the eccentric (Figure 7-15, Page 7-15).
5. After adjusting camber, tighten the four spring retaining nuts (32) (Figure 7-19, Page 7-19) to 23 ft·lb (31 N·m).
Then roll the vehicle forward one full tire revolution and recheck the camber. Adjust as required. See also
Figure 7-14, Page 7-15.
