STEERING
LINKAGE
SERVICE
The
steering linkage must maintain constant toe-
in
and
good
steering control under all driving
conditions.
This
requires
ball
joints at each end
of the tie rods and steering connecting rod. All
joints in the steering linkage must be kept well
lubricated
for easy operation and long life. Should
the joints be worn, allowing excessive free motion
in
the linkage, the joints must be replaced. When­
ever
ball
joints are replaced, toe-in must be reset. Because
some
members of the steering system may
have
become
bent or distorted, a periodic inspection
should be made.

The
steering connecting rod is of the
ball

identical,
the only difference
between
front and
rear
end being the relative location of the springs.

The
correct assembly of the steering connecting
rod
is shown in Fig. 0-7. At the front or axle end,
the spring and spacer are assembled
between
the
rod
and
ball
seat, while at the steering gear end,
spring
and spacer are
between
the
ball
seat and the
end plug. In the illustration the front end is to the left.

When
removing springs and
seats
for any reason,
make
sure they are reassembled as shown in the

illustration
because this method of assembly re­
lieves road shock from the steering gear in both di­
rections. To adjust the
ball
joint, screw in the plug

firmly
against the
ball,
approximately 20 ft. lb. [2,8 kg-m.] then back off one quarter
turn
and lock

with
a new cotter pin inserted through
holes
in the
tube and the slot in the adjusting plug. To adjust the
ball
joint at the steering gear arm, screw in the end plug firmly against the
ball,
then back off one

full
turn
and lock with a new cotter pin inserted
through
holes
in the tube and the slot in the ad­

justing
plug.

The
above adjustments
will
give
the proper spring
tension and avoid any
tightness
when swinging
the wheel from maximum left to right
turn.
The
ball
joints must be tight enough to prevent end

play
and yet
loose
enough to allow free movement.
0-16. Tie Rod
The
tie rods are of three piece construction con­sisting of the rod and two
ball
and socket end as­ semblies.
Ball
and socket end assemblies are
threaded into each rod and locked with clamps,

around
each end of the rod. Right and left hand threads on tie rod end assemblies provide toe-in adjustments without removing the tie rod ends from
the steering arm.

'Jeep'
Universal models are equipped with a

divided
tie rod connected to a bell-crank mounted
on the frame cross member.
With
this type con­

struction
the toe-in of each wheel is adjusted in­
dependently. See heading "Toe-in adjustment".

When
wear takes place in the tie rod end
ball
and socket, it
will
be necessary to replace the
ball
and socket assembly and also the rubber seal. 318

Q-3. WHEEL
BEARING
SERVICE

Adjustment
of the wheel bearings is
critical
be­ cause it establishes the running clearance of the wheel bearings. Wheel bearing adjustment that is
too
tight
preloads the bearings and causes them
to run hot. Loose wheel bearings permit the drum hub to shift its position on the bearings as thrust loads
vary
with acceleration,
braking,
and cornering.

Loose
bearings also cause
erratic
braking.
To check
the wheel bearings for adjustment, brakes must
be free and in fully released position. 336

Q-4. Checking
Front
Wheel Bearings

Raise
the front end of the vehicle with a
jack

so that the tires clear the floor.

Grip
the tire and
test
sidewise shake of the wheel.

If
bearings are correctly adjusted, shake of the
wheel
will
be just perceptible and wheel
will
turn

freely with no drag.

If
bearing adjustment is too tight, the rollers may

break
or
become
overheated. Loose bearings may cause
excessive
wear and noise.

If
this
test
indicates bearing adjustment is neces­

sary,
follow
the procedure given in Par. Q-5. Loose
bearings
will
cause sidewise shake that is evident

around
the entire circumference of the wheel. A shake that is evident only when gripping the
wheels
in
a plane parallel to the ground, but not evident

around
the entire circumference, probably indicates
looseness
in the steering linkage.

Q-5.
Front Wheel Bearing Adjustment
With
the vehicle on the
jack,
the following proce­

dure
should be followed to adjust the front wheel
bearings on four wheel-drive vehicles.
a. Remove the hub cap, snap
ring,
capscrews, and
washers that attach the driving
flange
to the hub.

b.
Using the
Front
Axle Shaft Drive Flange Puller

W-163,
pull
the driving flange.
c. Bend the lip of the nut lock washer so that the

locknut
and lock washer may be removed.

d.
Rotate the wheel and tighten the adjustment nut until the wheel binds.

Note:
Front
tire and wheel must be rotated by

hand
as the adjusting nut is
tightened
to ensure positive seating of the bearing.
