Using
o meosuring rod
on which the dis-
tonces con be morked with o line, meosure the
distonce between the gouge plotes
when tunned
forwords ond reorwords (the plotes
must be
opproximotely horizontol). By turning both
steering rods, odiust the rood wheels so
thot tlre
distonce between the plotes
behind the oxle is
3 mm lorger thon the distonce in front
of the
oxle, ond lock the steering rods in
this position
by meons of nuts.

Meosuring Front Wheel Toe-in
36. Rotote
the steering screw to check the
correctness of the steering geor
reossembly.
With the wheels in the right-hond ond left-
hond lock position
when the steering knuckle
obuts ogoinst the boss on the king pir-r
socket,
both extreme positions
in the steering
box
must be resilient,
without ony hord impocts.
lf this is
not the cose ond there is o hord
impoct, correct the odiustment by shortening
one steering nod ond lengthening
the other one.
37. Hoving odiusted the comber ongle
ond the
toe-in, retighten
o) the nuts of the eccentric pins
ond lock them
with cotter pins
b) the nuts of the upper wishbones ond lock
them with cotter pins
c) the bolts of the upper wishbone brocket
d) the nuts of the upper wishbone pins
ond
lock them by tightening the thin nuts
e) the nuts of the lower wishbones ond lock
them by tightening the thin nuts
f ) the
nuts of the boll
ioint pins (boll pins).
For tightening torques see Chopter 1.8.
38. Recheck the wheel comber, remove the
gouge, ond screw down loosely nuts ond wosh-
ers on to the protruding
ends of the lower
wish-
bone pins
in the following order: thin nut, spring
wosher, two ploin
woshers, onother spring
wosher, ond o thin nut. Fitting
Anti-roll Bor
39. Slip rubber
bushes on the centre port
of
the onti-rroll bor (close
behind the oblique bend)
ond f it on them the holder. After
hoving
threoded the other rubber bushes
on the
ends
of the onti-roll bor, instoll it in the brockets
on
the lower
wishbones, ond lock it in position
by
clomping the rubber bush by onother holder.
Secure the bolt of the holder with o spring
wosher.
Reinstolling Shock Absorbers ond Completing
Front Axle Reossembly
40. Using the spring instoller releose
the rood
spring ond then remove the instoller. Fit the
shock obsorber holder to the shock obsorber
eye ond connect them with o bolt with o costel-
loted nut. Lock the nut
with o cotter pin.
Threod the shock obsorber through the lower
wishbone ond the coil spning ond fosten it
with
bolts ond spring woshers.
41. Fill the wheel hub cop with
the recom-
mended greose
cnd drive it home
in the hub.
The greose will penetrote
into the beoring ond
lubricote it. Use the
MP 6-125 drift to ovoid
domoging the cop.
42. Screw down o greose
nipple on the bot-
tom beoring of both
king pins
ond lubricote the
enti,re oxle with the recommended greose.

MP 6-125 Drift
6.6 STEERING KNUCKLE The steering knuckle is o unit formed by the
swivel pin,
the broke bock plote
brocket ond
guord, speciol self-lubricoting bushes, ond the
spocing tube. The right-hond ond left-hond
steering knuckle
con be identified bythe greose
nipple or nipple hole which must foce forwords.

6.7 KING PIN The king pin is formed bodily by
its resilient bush. For pressing
the
out, use the MP 6--l-12 mondrel. The
cylindricol surfoce of the king pin
connot
be reconditioned.
Grinding or ony other mo-
chining is opt to destroy its speciol surfoce
finish. When worn, the king pin must be re-
ploced with o new one.

The right-hond ond left-hond socket
con be
identified by the relotive position

5. Turning force
of box and column only. The
maximum permitted
turning force of the box and
column only (drag
link
attached to steering box
but allowed to slide freely
across idler) is 1.2kg
2.5lbs when test is carried out as in (2).
lf the force
is excessive, lubricate
universal joints
and check
thatthe drag link assembly is free to move. Repeat
test. lf still excessive remove
the steering box,
which can be removed
with the track rod still
attached.
TIME ALLOWANCE 5 mins.
6. Turning force to rotate
Steering Box input
shaft. With some form
of coupling (coupling from
'S'
type Steering Box) test the force required to
rotate the shaft; maximum prmitted
torque0.1 6kg
1.16ft lbs.
lf using an arm and spring balance as
shown the maximum force required
can be
calculated bv
160
arm length
in crn
arm length
in inches
These tests should be carried out with the
worm in the central position.
The initial force will
be 0.25 kg %lb greater
than the average pull-
force. lf excessive, remove
input shaft top bearing
cap and adjust the
bearing to give
0.OO to
0.05mm preload.

Refit the shims and gaskets
and retaining cap,
fit the rubber sealing ring
dipped in oil and f it the
thin dust cover. lf the dust cover seems strained,
install a paper
gasket
between the cap and dust
cover. Part No. 1 1O-5909O0.
Retest for torque
and check rocker
shaft end
float which should be between
O.4 and O.5mm. lf
excessive and unable to adjust by the adjusting
bolt, replace steering box after contacting
the
Service Department.
Reassemble car and check the maxtmum
permitted force at the
spoke is 2.4kg 4.5lbs.
Check that the wheel
and indicator switch is
ce ntra lised.
Rocker Shaft Nut Torque
100Nm (71
lb ft).
TIME ALLOWANCE
7O mins. (inctudes
cost of additional shims)
7. Other points
which can adversely
affect the
turning force of the
Steering mechanism:
a) excessive tension
of the ball joints.
b) Workshop
Manual 7.5.5. excessive tenston
of the drag link
arms. The force required to
move the arm should be approximately 2kg or e.g.
wrth length
of arm
6 inches
max.
permitted force
equals 1.16 x 12
6
= 2.32lbs
DUST
COVER
4.6lbs when applied to the inboard
end of the
threaded portion.
TIME ALLOWANCE -
Off Vehicte 1O mins.
lf problems
are experienced
with wheel
vibration on the front
axle it is necessary to check
the amount of weight applied to one half of the
wheel rim which should not exceed
50 grams.
You are reminded
that check A1, kingpin
adjustment, is required
to be carried ogt at each of
the six and 12,0OO mile services.
