1. Inspect all the systems that affect the wheel
alignment. See paragraph 6.1,
‘’Inspection
Before Alignment’’
in this section.
2. Check the hub bearings. See section 13,
‘’Wheels, hubs and Tires’’
under heading 8:
Front and Tag Axle Wheel Hubs.
3. Check and adjust the toe-in.
6.3
MAJOR FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Perform a major front wheel alignment to correct
steering and tire wear conditions.
Perform the major front wheel alignment in the
following sequence:
1. Inspect all systems affecting the wheel
alignment. See paragraph 6.1,
‘’Inspection
Before Alignment’’
in this section.
2. Check the hub bearings. See section 13,
‘’Wheels, hubs and Tires’’
under heading 8:
Front and Tag Axle Wheel Hubs.
NOTE
If steering angle stoppers are changed, a
special procedure is required for readjusting
gearbox steering limiter. See paragraph 6.5
‘’Hydraulic Stop’’ in this section.
3. Check and adjust the turning angle
adjustment.
4. Check the camber angle.
5. Check and adjust the caster angle.
6. Check and adjust the toe-in.
6.4
TURNING ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
The maximum turning angle is set through the
two steering stop screws installed on the axle
center. The turning angle is factory adjusted to
accommodate the chassis design, and
therefore, does not require adjustment on new
vehicles. However, it should be checked and
adjusted any time any component of the steering
system is repaired, disassembled or adjusted.
Check if front tires rub against the frame or if the
steering gear has been serviced.
Proceed with the following method to check the
steering maximum turning angle :
6.4.1 R.H. Turn Adjustment
CAUTION
To prevent the steering damper from interfering
with the adjustment of turning angles, make
sure its fixing bracket is at the correct location
on the axle center (refer to section 14
“Steering”).
1. Turn steering wheel to the right until the boss
on the axle center touches the right stop
screw.
2. Verify the nearest point of contact of the ball
socket body with the air bellows support
assembly. Measure the distance between
those two points.
3. The distance between these two points
should be approximately 1/8 inch (3 mm). If
not, the steering stop screws must be
readjusted.
4. Verify the nearest point of contact of the drag
link with the tire. Measure the distance
between those two points.
5. The distance should be 1 inch (25 mm) or
more. If not, the steering stop screws must
be readjusted.
6. This must be done for a full right turn.
7. If readjustment is required:
a. Remove the swivel stop screw.
b. Add to the stop screw the required
number of washers to obtain the proper
measure, tighten the stop screw
afterwards. Two washers of different
thickness are available: 1/16 inch and
3/16 inch.
6.4.2 L.H. Turn Adjustment
1. Turn steering wheel to the left until the boss
on the axle center touches the left stop
screw.
2. Verify the nearest point of contact of the ball
socket body with the air bellows support
assembly. Measure the distance between
those two points.
3. The distance between these two points
should be approximately 1/8 inch (3 mm). If
not, the steering stop screws must be
readjusted.
