The steering linkage includes the pitman arm,
drag link, steering arm, tie rod arms and tie rod.
Perform lubrication according to “DANA SPICER
Service Manual NDS Axle Range” found in the
OEM manuals folder.
Steering linkage pivot points should be checked
each time they are lubricated. Looseness can be
visually detected while rotating the steering wheel
in both directions. Replace defective parts.
CAUTION
Front wheel alignment should be checked and
adjusted if necessary, any time a component of
the steering system is repaired, disassembled
or adjusted. Refer to section 10
"Front Axle"
under heading
6. "Front Wheel Alignment".

WARNING
Always wear approved eye protection when
operating pullers.
CAUTION
Do not drive (hammer in) pitman arm on or off
pitman shaft as this can damage the steering
gear.
CAUTION
