POWER STEERING-

PRELIMINARY TESTS

The following preliminary checks

should always be made before per-

forming any operations.

AIR BLEEDING

Air in the power steering system

(shown by bubbles in the fluid) should

be bled. After making sure that the

reservoir is filled to specification (the

fluid must be at normal operating

temperature when the check is made),

turn the steering wheel through its full

travel three or four times. Do not hold

the wheels against their stops. Re-

check the fluid level.

CHECK FLUID LEVEL

Run the engine until the fluid is at

normal operating temperature. Then

turn the steering wheel all the way to

the left and right several times, and

shut off the engine.

Check the fluid level in the power

steering reservoir. The level must show

on the cross hatching between the bot-

tom of the dipstick and the full mark

(Fig. 1). If the level is low, add

enough automatic transmission fluid

C1AZ-19582-A to raise the level to

the F mark on the dipstick. Do not

overfill the reservoir.

CHECK PUMP BELT

If the pump belt is broken, glazed,

or worn, replace it with a new belt.

Use only the specified type of belt.

Refer to Part 3-13 for belt adjustment

procedure.

CHECK FOR FLUID

LEAKS

With the engine idling, turn the

steering wheel from stop to stop sever-

al times. Check all possible leakage

points. Tighten all loose fittings, and

replace any damaged lines or defective

seats.

CHECK TURNING EFFORT

With the front wheels properly al-

igned and tire pressures correct, check

the effort required to turn the steering

wheel.

2.
With the engine warmed up and

running at idle speed, turn the steering

wheel to the left and right several

times to warm the fluid.

3.
Attach a pull scale to the rim of

the steering wheel. Measure the pull

plete revolution in each direction. The

effort required to rotate the steering

wheel should not exceed specifications

given in Part 3-13.

Rear Axle — Removable Carrier Type

04-02-11

If the axle housing is new, install a

new vent. The hose attaching portion

must face toward the front of the ve-

hicle.

2.
If leather-type wheel bearing ser-

vice seals are to be installed, soak the

new rear wheel bearing oil seals in

SAE 10 oil for 1/2 hour before instal-

lation. Wipe a small amount of an oil

resistant sealer on the outer edge of

each seal before it is installed. Do not

put any of the sealer on the sealing

lip.
Install the oil seals in the ends of

the axle housing with one of the tools

shown in Fig. 10 and 12.

3.
Position the replacement axle

housing under the vehicle, and raise

the axle with a hoist or floor jack.

Connect the suspension lower arms to

their mounting brackets on the axle

housing with pivot bolts and nuts. Do

not tighten the bolts and nuts at this

point.

4.
Position the suspension upper

arm in its mounting bracket on the

axle housing, and install the adjusting

bolt, eccentric washers, lock washer

and nut. Leave the bolt and nut loose

at this point.

5.
Position the brake lines to the

axle housing, and secure with the re-

taining clips.

6. Install the brake backing plates

on the axle housing flanges.

7.
Connect the track bar to the

mounting stud, install the washer and

attaching nut, and torque to specifica-

tions.

8. Position the rear coil springs and

insulators in the pockets provided.

9. Connect the lower studs of the

two rear shock absorbers to the

mounting brackets on the axle hous-

ing. Install the attaching nuts, and

torque to specifications.

10.
Connect the vent tube to the

vent on the housing. If axle housing is

new, install a new vent.

11.
Clean the mating surfaces of

the axle housing and differential car-

rier. Position the carrier on the

mounting studs on the housing using a

new gasket between carrier and hous-

ing. Install the copper washers and the

carrier-to-housing attaching nuts, and

torque to specifications.

12.
Make sure that both the front

and rear pivot bolts of the upper and

the two lower arms are loose, and

then raise the axle assembly to con-

trolled curb height (Fig. 15). Hold the

axle at controlled curb height by plac-

ing blocks or pieces of steel pipe be-

tween the axle housing and the bumper

rear screw on the side rail. (See speci-

fications for dimensions.)

13.
With the axle at controlled curb

height, torque the suspension upper

and lower arm front pivot bolts and

nuts to specifications. Torque the

lower arm-to-axle housing pivot bolts

and nuts to specifications.

14.
Remove the oil seal replacer

tool from the transmission extension

housing. Position the drive shaft so

that the front U-joint slip yoke splines

to the transmission output shaft.

15.
Connect the drive shaft to the

U-joint flange, aligning the scribe

marks made on the drive shaft end

yoke and the axle U-joint flange dur-

ing the removal procedure. Install the

U-bolts and nuts and torque to speci-

fications.

16.
Carefully slide the two axle

shaft assemblies in the axle housing.

The shorter shaft goes into the left

side of the housing. Use care in slid-

ing the axle shafts into the housing so

that the rough forging of the shaft will

not damage the oil seal. Start the axle

splines into the differential side gear,

and push the shaft in until the rear

wheel bearing bottoms in the housing.

17.
Install the rear wheel bearing

retainers on the attaching bolts on the

axle housing flanges. Install the nuts

on the bolts and torque to specifica-

tions.

18.
If the rear brake shoes were

backed off, adjust the brakes as out-

lined in Part 2-1, and install rubber

plugs in the adjuster slots.

19.
Install the two rear brake

drums and the drum attaching (Tin-

nerman) nuts.

20.
Install the rear wheels and tires.

21.
Fill the rear axle to the bottom

of the filler plug hole located in either

the carrier casting or housing cover

with specified lubricant. Be sure that

the axle is in operating position.

22.
Road test the vehicle to be sure

that pinion and driveshaft angles are
correct. Any shudder during heavy ac-

celeration, or deceleration may require

a pinion and driveshaft angle re-

adjustment as detailed in Driveshaft

and Pinion Angle Adjustment, Group

3,
Part 3-2.
