Steering Axle Stop Adjustment

Steer Angle

(1) Bolt. (2) Nut. (3) Bolt. (4) Nut. (5) Bolts. (A) 80¡ angle

Use the procedure that follows to make an adjust-

ment to the steer axle turning angle.

1. Adjust the cylinder rod extension so it is equal on

both sides of the axle.

2. Loosen nuts (2) and (4) on both sides of the steer

axle.

3. Turn the steer wheel one direction until the steer

cylinder rod extension measures 94mm(3.7 in) for

B Models and 80mm(3.2in) for BC Models more

than the straight ahead measurement.

4. Adjust stop bolt (1) on one side and stop bolt (3)

on the other.

5. Tighten nut (2) on one side and nut (4) on the

other side. Turn the steer wheel the opposite

direction and do the same procedure for the

opposite stop bolts. This will give a maximum

cramp angle of 80¡.

Steering Knuckle Bearing Preload

Adjustment

Steering Knuckle Bearing Preload Adjustment

(6) Steering link. (7) Shims. (8) Cover. (9) Bolts.

1. During assembly of the steering knuckle, install

the upper bearing cup, cone and seal.

2. Install lower bearing group cover (8) without

shims. Tighten two opposed cover bolts (9) to a

torque of 5.6 NIm (50 lbIin) .

3. Measure the clearance between cover (8) and the

axle beam at each bolt with a feeler gauge.

4. Take an average of the measurements found in

Step 3. Select shims (7) equal in thickness to the

average clearance.

5. Remove the bearing group and install shims (7),

cover (8) and bolts (9). Tighten bolts (9) to a

torque of 55 L 6 NIm (40 L 5 lbIft) .

6. With steering links (6) disconnected from the

steering cylinder, check knuckle for 4.5 to 6.8

NIm(40 to 60 lbIin) of rolling torque. Add or

remove shims from cover (8) to obtain the proper

rolling torque.

7. Connect links (6) to the steering cylinder. Tighten

cylinder mounting bolts (5) to a torque of

460 L 60 NIm (340 L 40 lbIft) .
