LUBRICATION
Two grease fittings are provided (one in each spindle housing). Lubricate these fittings at the recommended interval
with the proper lubricant.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Wheel alignment is limited to equalizing the camber angle of each front wheel and adjusting toe-in of the front wheels.
NOTE:
Prior to making any front suspension adjustments, inspect components for wear or 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
.
2.
Loosen, but do not remove, the four bolts (17) that secure the leaf spring (13) to the bottom spring plate (16)
See also Figure 7-6, Page 7-7.
3.
Loosen, but do not remove, the hex nut (8) on the adjustment eccentric (7)
in the center of
the spring.
See also Figure 7-11, Page 7-13.
4.
Use a 7 mm deep well socket to rotate the eccentric
.
5.
After adjusting camber, use a crisscross pattern to tighten the four spring retaining bolts (17)
to 37 ft·lb (50 N·m). Then roll the vehicle forward one full tire revolution and recheck the camber.
See also Figure 7-5, Page 7-7.
6.
Tighten the hex nut (8) on the adjustment eccentric (7) to 10 ft·lb (13.5 N·m)
