To prevent
oil from leoking through the
ioint
gop between the dust boot ond the joint
guord
os well os ony twisting of the boot during
the oction of the rood spring, or its domoge by
contoct with other cor ports,
it is importont to
observe its correct position
on the holf-oxle. lt

wqrd ond tilted upword ot on ongle of obout
45o. For better occess, ploce
the clips fostening
the dust boot to the holf-oxle ond cover with
their screws on top. With the right-hond
boot,
screw in the clip screws from the front,
with
the left-hond boot the screw on the holf-oxle
from the reor ond on the cover from the front.
Connect the dust boot flonges with hollow
rivets using suitoble pliers.
lf riveting pliers
ore
not ovoiloble, bolt the flonges togethen instol-
ling odequotely dimensioned ploin
woshers
under the bolt heods ond nuts.
5.7 HALF.AXLE SHAFT
The thrust ring of the beoring (behind
the
shoft toper) is pressed
on the shoft. lf it is ne-
cessory to renew this ring, for exomple ofter
repeoted replocements
of the beoring (see
Chopter 5.1, porogrroph
4), press
it on so

Fig.6.1/5-Preporing front oxle for the condition
of check lood by inserting
steel bors of 181 mm
in diometer ond obout
220 mm long
The most importont points
from the point
of
view of driving ore the
toe-in ond the comber
ongle, the odiustment of which is permitted
by
the oxle design.
Adiust first the comber
ond then the toe-in
since o chonged comber
offects the toe-in.
We refroin from describing in detoil ony
meosuring method in view
of the lorge number
of existing gouges.
Insteod,
we odvise you
to refer to
the procedures recommended
by the
monufocturers of the gouges.
The check lood con be formed by blocking the
wishbones with bors occording to
Fig. 6.1/5.
Press down the cor with the hond, insert
the
bors under the wishbones so
thot they
beor
ogoinst the oxle brocket, ond releose the cor
to
let the bors be clomped. lf
clomping of the
bors
does not toke ploce
(which con hoppen on on
older cor with weokened springs),
consider the
condition os if the bors were
clomped, i. e',
corresponding to the position of the
front oxle
ot check looding.
The words "ot
full lood" describe o vehicle
looded so thot the distonce of the rubber deod
stop from the bottom of the
lower wishbone
stop is 20 mm (see olso porogroph
18) ond the
comber ongle of the reor wheels is 1". Meosure
these volues on oll wheels (not
only one front
ond one reor wheel) ond distribute the
lood os
necessory.
Toe-in To odiust the toe-in, screw
the right-hond ond
left-hond steering rods
symmetricolly (o
chonge
up to 1 mm con be effected by
one rod) ot
check lood so thot the distonce between the
wheel rims (or
ocross them) behind the oxle
(A+o) is lorger by the toe-in volue (o)
thon the
distonce between the rims
in front of the oxle
(A). To verify steering symmetry (correct screw-
ing of steering rods during
toe-in odiusting),
check the wheel lock position ot the
20" lock
ongle of the neorside wheel -
for the respective
volues refer to Chopter 1.7.
Slocken the steering rod
nuts ond rotote the
steering rods using on
olligotor wrench (Fig.
6.1/6). In oddition to the correct inflotion
pressure
of the tyres, poy
ottention to
severol essentiol
points when checking the wheel
olignment:
o) Ploce thewheel in the stroight oheod trovel'
ling direction;
b) The
steering rod ond the trock rod
must
not
be stressed. The stress con be eliminoted by
letting the cor swing
up ond down in its
suspension under the pressure of
your
honds
(olternotely press down ond releose
the
wings)
c) Prepore the oxle os
shown in Fig.6.1/5;
d) lf
o speciol gouge with
o scole for wheel
lock ongle setting is ovoiloble, odiust
the cor'
rect length of steering rods in
occordonce with
the position
of wheels in
check lock positions.
You will find the respective volues
in Chopter
1.7 "Steering".
Set the lock ongle
of the wheel
on one
side to 20' (on
o turn-toble) ond screw
the steering
rod of the other wheel to odiust

Fosten down
the cop by tightening the bolts. Check the
steering screw for free rototion
ond the obsence
of ploy.
The beoring should be without o cleor-
once or there hos
to be o prestress
of up to
0.07 mm.
5. Remove the bolts of the cop, slip the rub-
ber seoling ring dipped in oil on to the shoft,
ond fit the dust cup on the cop. lnstoll spring
woshers on the bolts. Should the cup be over-
stroined due to the toleronce
of the recess for
the seoling ring or the ring itself
, instoll
o poper
gosket under it os under tlre ccrp.
6. Locote the steering nut on the screw fol-
lowecl by the rocker shoft with pin, spring,
spring pin, ond the licl gosket
cooted with
o seoling compound, ond fit the lid with bush
in position to close the steering
box. Instoll

Chopter 1.8. Screw
the set screw into the lid ond rnove
the steer-
ing geor
so thot the drop orrn is swivelled
through obout one holf of its trovel from the one
or the other extreme lock position.
Witlr the
drop ornr in this position,
screw down the set
screw os for os it will go
ond then bock it off
through obout 95 to '120'.
This will provide
for
on odequote cleoronce of the steering geor.
[.ock the set screw in position
with the re-
spective nut.
7. Drive the key on to the rocker shoft cone,
fit the drop orm ond hold it down lightly with
the nut. Clomp the drop orm in o vice, tighten
fully the nut (for
the tightening torque see
Chopter 1.8), ond secure tlre nut with o cotter
pi n.
8. Clomp ogoin the steering box by meons of
the dummy brocket ond moke sure
thot the dnop
orm con swivel from one extreme lock position
to the other. A certoin
resistonce should olwoys
be present,
but if the resistonce is too greot,
decreose it by o slight slockening of the set
screw in the lid. The
rototing resistonce of the
shaft should not exceed 20 Nm (O.2
kpm). Refer to
page 117/118 for testing
procedure.
9. Set the ossembled steering box in its fit-
ting position
(inclined
by obout 40o) ond pour
in oil through the hole in the bbx lid (cover)
till the oil level reoches the bottom edge of the
filling hole. Then
