WHEEL RIMS
There are two forms of wheel identification marking:
- engraved markings for steel rims,
- cast marking for alloy rims.
The marking gives the main dimensional specifications of the wheel.
The marking may be complete:
Example : 5 1/2 J 14 4 CH 36
or simplified
Example : 5 1/2 J 14
35
The four wheel bolts are over a diameter of 100
mm (4 mounting bolts).
Maximum run-out: 1.2 mm measured on the rim
edge (at G).
Maximum eccentricity: 0.8 mm measured on the
pressure face of the tyre beads.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Specifications
The tyre inflation pressures are values for a fully laden vehicle or motorway use.
The tyre inflation pressure must be checked when cold. The increase in temperature during driving increases
the pressure by 0.2 to 0.3 bar.
If the inflation pressures are checked when the tyres are warm, take this pressure increase into consideration.
Never deflate a warm tyre.
(1) Reinforced tyre.
Chains
For safety reasons, chains may NEVER be fitted to the rear axle.
"Snow" or "thermorubber" tyres: all four wheels must be fitted with these tyres to retain vehicle adhesion as
far as possible.

BALANCE WEIGHTS
Only use weights provided by the Parts
Department:
- fitted using hooks to steel wheels (hook is part
of the weight),
- fitted using hooks (flat hooks) or self adhesive
for alloy wheels.

STEERING ASSEMBLY
Axial ball joint
36
Put the vehicle on a two post lift.
REMOVAL
Disconnect the track rod end using tool T.Av. 476.
Slacken the bolt on the parallelism adjustment
sleeve and slacken the track rod end while
holding the axial ball joint using an open wrench.
Make a mark or count the number of turns of
thread taken up so the parallelism can be pre-
adjusted on refitting.
Remove the plastic retaining clip for the gaiter
and remove the gaiter.
SPECIAL TOOLING REQUIRED

TIGHTENING TORQUES (in daN.m)Turn the wheels so the rack teeth are freed on the
valve side.
Fit tool Dir. 1306.
In this position, release the axial ball joint using
tool Dir. 1305-01.

REFITTING
Assembly (2) MUST be renewed systematically.
83510-1R3
Refit to the rack (3) :
- the stop washer assembled with the locking
ring (2),
- the new axial ball joint (1) having lightly coated
the threads with
LOCTITE FREN-BLOC, ensuring
that the air evacuation opening is not blocked.
Before finally tightening the axial ball joint using
tool Dir. 1305-01, check that the tabs on the
locking ring (2) align with the flats (B) on the rack.
Tighten the axial ball joint to the recommended
torque.
Centre the steering to equalise the air in the
gaiters.
Fit a new gaiter and secure it with a new clip
(after greasing the gaiter bearing surface on the
axial ball joint).
Checking
Gently press on the gaiter to check the other
gaiter inflates which indicates the air is circulating
correctly.

STEERING ASSEMBLY
Manual steering rack
36
Put the vehicle on a two post lift.
REMOVAL
Remove the front wheels.
Cut the rubber gaiter retaining clip and push the
gaiter back towards the bulkhead.
Disconnect the ball joints using tool T.Av. 476.
Remove:
- the universal joint eccentric bolt,
- the steering rack mounting bolts on the sub-
frame.
Remove the steering rack.
SPECIAL TOOLING REQUIRED
Wheel bolts 9
Track rod end nut 3.7
Steering rack mounting bolts 5.5
Universal joint eccentric bolt 2.5
T.Av. 476 Ball joint extractor
TIGHTENING TORQUES (in daN.m)REFITTING
Refitting is the reverse of removal. Observe the
recommended tightening torques.
If a new steering rack is being fitted, fit the track
rod ends in the position noted on removal.
To do this, slacken the bolt on the parallelism
adjustment sleeve and slacken the track rod end
while holding the axial ball joint using an open
wrench.
Make a mark or count the number of turns of
thread taken up so the parallelism can be pre-
adjusted on refitting.
Check the parallelism.
NOTE : the markings on the track rod ends MUST
BE OBSERVED
(one mark on right hand joint, two
marks on left hand joint).

TIGHTENING TORQUES (in daN.m)
Put the vehicle on a two post lift.
REMOVAL
Remove the front wheels.
Fit a clamp Mot. 453-01 to each of the pipes from
the oil reservoir.
NOTE :never clamp the high pressure pipes.
Cut the rubber gaiter retaining clip and push the
gaiter back towards the bulkhead.
Disconnect the ball joints using tool T.Av. 476.
Remove the universal joint eccentric bolt.
Disconnect the oxygen sensor.
Remove the exhaust downpipe.
