STEERING AND FRONT SUSPENSION

FRONT SUSPENSION

See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.

LUBRICATION

Two grease fittings are provided (one in each spindle housing).
Lubricate these fittings at the recommended interval with the proper lubricant. See the Periodic Lubrication
Schedule in vehicle owner's manual. See following CAUTION.
CAUT ION
• To ensure proper lubrication of the front suspension and steering linkages, raise front of
vehicle to lubricate. See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.

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 7-7. 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 7-15, Page 7-15).
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the four bolts (30) that secure the leaf spring (6) to the bottom spring plate
(29) (Figure 7-21, Page 7-20 or Figure 7-23, Page 7-22). See also Figure 7-16, Page 7-15.
