REPAIR STEERING COLUMN LOCK ASSEMBLY
Service repair no - 57.40.31
Remove
CAUTION: Before removing any parts of
steering linkage, it is imperative that road
wheels are positioned straight ahead.
Then steering wheel removed to prevent rotary
coupler being wound up or damaged.
CAUTION: After refitting steering linkage
parts follow correct procedure to ensure
that road wheels, steering box and
steering wheel are correctly positioned relative to
each other when in straight ahead condition. If
steering wheel requires repositioning, ensure that
drive pegs on rotary coupler are correctly
positioned before steering wheel is replaced.
This ensures drive pegs locate in their holes in
rear of steering wheel.
After final alignment connect rotary coupler
multiplug, tighten steering wheel securing nut and
fit airbag module - if fitted.

FRONT SUSPENSION

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION INTRODUCTION
Suspension design is a major factor in determining the comfort, safety and performance of any vehicle, but is
particularly significant to 4 wheel drive cross country vehicles. The ideal suspension must allow maximum wheel
travel and axle articulation, and provide good ground clearance without loss of traction or directional stability.
A well designed beam axle layout can embrace all of these qualities and also has the inherent advantage (over
independent systems) of no variation in wheel track or camber angle.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION AXLE LOCATION
The front axle is controlled longitudinally, by two forged steel radius arms and transversely by a panhard rod.
Front axle suspension
1. Panhard rod - transverse location
2. Radius arms - longitudinal location
3. Coil springs
4. Shock absorber
Long travel coil springs and hydraulic shock absorbers, provide the springing for each wheel.
