AIR LINE FITTINGS
To remove an air supply line from an air compres-
sor assembly air line fitting. Push in (toward re-
ceiver dryer) on the plastic ring of the receiver dryer
air supply air line fitting. While holding in the air
line fitting on the receiver dryer pull the air supply
line strait out of the fitting (Fig. 6).
The fitting has a unique push-in feature. A brass
type collet locks the air line in place. One rubber
O-Ring seals the air line to prevent air leakage. To
attach air line, just push into fitting (Fig. 7).
AIR CHECK, RESIDUAL
The air dryer has a valving arrangement that
maintains 172 to 276 kPa (25 to 40 psi). To test this function, perform the following proce-
dure: (1) Remove the air line from the dryer and strut or
spring. Attach a piece of bulk nylon tubing to one
side of a Pressure Gauge (0-300 psi), and to the strut/
spring solenoid (Fig. 8). (2) Attach another piece of nylon tubing from the
dryer (compressor) to other side of the pressure
gauge. A compression ball sleeve nut and sleeve for 3/16
inch tubing with ball sleeve connector and an inter-
nal pipe T-fitting. Can be used to attach the tubing
to the pressure gauge. (3) Activate compressor by grounding pin 508 to
pin x 20 (See Control Module Connector), cycle unit
and read actual air pressure. Pressure of 172 to 276
kPa (25 to 40 psi) indicates that the system and com-
pressor is acceptable.
COMPRESSOR PERFORMANCE TEST
This test can be performed on the vehicle to evalu-
ate compressor current draw, pressure output, and
leak down. (1) Disconnect the compressor motor wiring har-
ness connector. (2) Disconnect air line between dryer and strut or
spring solenoid. (3) Connect an air pressure gauge into the system
(Fig. 8). (4) Connect an ammeter in series between the red
wire terminal on compressor connector and a 12 volt
power source. Also, connect a ground wire from the
black wire terminal on the compressor connector to a
good ground on the frame (Fig. 9) (5) If the current draw to the compressor motor ex-
ceeds 30 amperes, replace the compressor assembly.
AIR LEAK CHECK
(1) Check all air line to connector joints.
² Air line to compressor connectors.
² Air line to solenoid.
(2) Check the rubber membranes.
² Front struts.
² Rear springs.

SOLENOIDS (STRUTS AND AIR SPRINGS)
Front struts and rear springs are equipped with so-
lenoids that control air pressure and volume within
the assemblies. The solenoids are electrically oper-
ated to allow air input, contain air, or release air
pressure, depending on control module commands.

General Information ....................... 89 Rear Wheel Alignment..................... 89
GENERAL INFORMATION
Because front wheel drive vehicles are equipped with
rear suspension incorporating stub axles (or wheel
spindles). It is possible to align both the camber and toe
of the rear wheels.
REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Alignment adjustment if required. Is made by adding
0.010 inch shims (from the service package kit) be-
tween the spindle mounting surface and axle mounting
plate. Each shim equals wheel change by .3É as shown
(for all car lines) in (Figs. 3 to 6). If rear wheel alignment is required, place vehicle on
alignment rack and check alignment specifications.
When recording rear toe-in (vehicle backed onto
alignment rack) REMEMBER to reverse sign
convention; a total toe-in on direct reading
charts is actually toe-out while driving. Maintain
rear alignment within Chrysler Motors recommenda-
tions, found in Specifications.
INSTALLATION OF REAR ALIGNMENT SHIMS
(1) Block front tires so vehicle will not move.
(2) Release parking brake.
(3) Hoist vehicle so that rear suspension is in full
rebound and tires are off the ground. See Hoisting in
Lubrication and Maintenance, Group 0. (4) Remove wheel and tire assembly.
(5) Pry off grease cap.
(6) Remove cotter pin and castle lock.
(7) Remove adjusting nut.
(8) Remove brake drum (Fig. 1). (9) Loosen four (4) brake assembly and spindle
mounting bolts enough to allow clearance for shim
installation (Fig. 2). Do not remove mounting
bolts.
(10) Install shims as shown in Figs. 3, 4, 5 and 6
for desired wheel change. No more than two shims
on each spindle should be used to bring alignment
within acceptable range. Wheel change by .3É per shim.
(11) Tighten down the 4 brake support plate and
spindle to axle mounting bolts until they are snug.
Then tighten the 4 bolts to the torque values listed
for the vehicle line which is being serviced.

pletely release bearing preload. Finger tighten ad-
justing nut. (14) Position nut lock with one pair of slots in-line
with cotter pin hole. Install cotter pin. The end play
should be 0.025-0.076 mm (0.001-0.003 inch). Clean

GENERAL INFORMATION
Throughout this group, references may be made to
a particular vehicle by letter or number designation.
A chart showing the break down of these designa-
tions is included in the Introduction Section at the
front of this service manual. Standard brake equipment consists of:
² Double pin floating caliper disc front brakes.
² Rear automatic adjusting drum brakes.
² Differential valve with a brake warning switch.
² Master cylinder.
² Vacuum power booster.
² Double pin floating caliper rear disc brakes are
available on some models. The Bendix Anti-Lock 10 braking system, uses the
standard power brake system caliper assemblies,
braking discs, pedal assembly, brake lines and hoses.
The unique parts of the Bendix Anti-Lock 10 braking
system consists of the following components. Propor-
tioning valves, wheel speed sensors, tone wheels,
electronic control unit, modulator assembly and hy-
draulic assembly. These components replace the con-
ventional master cylinder and power booster. The
components will be described in detail in the Bendix
Anti-Lock 10 brake section in this group of the ser-
vice manual. The Bendix Anti-Lock 6 braking system, uses the
following standard brake system components. Master
cylinder, power booster, caliper assemblies, braking
discs, pedal assembly, brake lines and hoses. The
unique parts of the Bendix Anti-Lock 6 braking sys-
tem consists of the following components. Modulator
assembly, unique proportioning valves, wheel speed
sensors, tone wheels, and electronic control unit.
These components will be described in detail in the
Bendix Anti-Lock 6 brake section in this group of the
service manual. The front disc brake shoes have semi-metallic lin-
ings. The hydraulic brake system (Fig .123and4)is
diagonally split on both the Non-ABS and ABS brak-
ing system. With the left front and right rear brakes
on one hydraulic system and the right front and left
rear on the other. The Non-ABS and ABS brake system may use dif-
ferent types of brake line fittings and tubing flares.
The Non-ABS brake system uses double wall tubing
flares and fittings at all tubing joint locations. Some
ABS brake systems use both ISO style tubing flares
and double wall tubing flares and corresponding fit-
tings at different joint locations. See (Figs . 2 3 and 4)
for specific joint locations and type of tubing flare. The front disc brakes consist of two different types
of caliper assemblies. A double pin Kelsey-Hayes cal-
iper (family caliper) with a bolt-on adapter attached
to the steering knuckle. Or a double pin Kelsey-
Hayes caliper (non-family caliper) which mounts di-
rectly to rails on the steering knuckle. The non-
family caliper is only used on the AY Body
(Imperials).
CAUTION: Caliper pistons, boots and seals for the
different caliper assemblies used on the front and
rear disc brake assemblies are not interchangeable.
Misusage could result in a complete brake system
failure. Be sure that the parts are replaced with the
correct replacement parts, refer to the parts book
for the type and model year of the vehicle being
worked on.
The master cylinder is anodized, lightweight alu-
minum, with a bore size of 24.0mm, 21.0mm or 7/8
inch.
