STEERING
57-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Tilt adjustment
The column tilt adjuster lever mechanism is located on the LH side of the steering column and allows the upper column
tube, nacelle and steering wheel assemblies to be tilted up or down a maximum of 7.5
° or 47 mm (NAS vehicles have
a smaller range of movement than the ROW vehicles).
The pawl of the mechanism is attached to the lower column and is allowed to pivot, a toothed quadrant is fixed to the
upper column tube.
When the lever on the LH side of the steering column is raised the mechanism releases the pawl from the toothed
quadrant, this allows the column to be moved. When the lever is released two return springs pull the pawl into
engagement with the toothed quadrant.
Steering column lock (All except NAS)
The steering column lock houses the ignition switch, ignition illumination light ring, key lock barrel and the alarm
passive coil. The steering lock is attached to the upper column with two shear bolts. The bolts are tightened to a
torque which shears off the heads of the bolts preventing easy removal of the steering lock.
The steering lock operates by a bolt, which emerges when the ignition key is turned to position 'O' and the ignition key
removed. The bolt engages in a lock collar located on the upper shaft in the upper column tube. The lock collar is
attached to the upper shaft by a 'wave form' interference ring. If a high torque is applied via the steering wheel with
the lock engaged, the lock collar will slip on the upper shaft. This prevents damage to the steering lock, yet still
prevents the vehicle from being driven.
Steering column lock (NAS only)
The steering column lock houses the ignition switch, ignition illumination light ring, key lock barrel and the alarm
passive coil. The steering lock is attached to the upper column with two shear bolts. The bolts are tightened to a
torque which shears off the heads of the bolts preventing easy removal of the steering lock.
The steering column lock operates by a bolt, which emerges when the ignition key is turned to position 'O' and the
ignition key removed. The bolt engages in a groove machined into the upper shaft in the column tube.
Steering wheel
The steering wheel comprises a cast centre and wire frame onto which the soft polyurethane foam is moulded. The
steering wheel is located on the upper column shaft by a spline and is secured with a nut. A remote radio control switch
(if fitted) is located on the LH side of the steering wheel, a cruise control switch may be located on the RH side. Horn
switches are located on each side of the centre of the steering wheel and protrude through the airbag module cover.
Both switches are connected by wires to the rotary coupler connector.
Intermediate shaft
One end of the intermediate shaft is attached to the steering column lower shaft by a splined universal joint and a bolt,
the universal joint is part of a rubber coupling assembly. The rubber coupling assembly is covered by a heat shield
and connects to the lower section of the intermediate shaft via a decouple joint. The rubber coupling reduces the
shocks felt by the driver through the steering wheel. A second universal joint on the other end of the intermediate shaft
is held in by a bolt. The universal joint is splined and engages with the splined rotor (input) shaft of the steering box.
The decouple joint consists of a metal plate that has open ended slots, the plate is bolted through the slots into the
other half of the decouple joint. The top half of the decouple joint has a slot that accepts the lower section of the
intermediate shaft. The slotted metal plate clamps the lower section of the intermediate shaft to the top section. An
indicator clip is installed between the slotted metal plate and the top half of the decouple joint.
If the intermediate shaft is compressed in an accident, the slotted metal plate in the decouple joint will disengage if
sufficient force is applied to the front end of the shaft. If the forces involved do not disengage the shaft, the red
indicator clip located in the decouple joint will break off if the shaft moves. The intermediate shaft cannot be repaired
and must be replaced as an assembly if accident damage occurs.

FRONT SUSPENSION
60-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The front suspension comprises two dampers and coil springs, two radius arms, a Panhard rod and an anti-roll bar.
The front axle provides the location points for the dampers, springs, radius arms and the Panhard rod.
The anti-roll bar assembly is an essential part of the front suspension. On vehicles without Active Cornering
Enhancement (ACE) a conventional 'passive' anti-roll bar is fitted. On vehicles fitted with the ACE system, a thicker
diameter anti-roll bar, known as a torsion bar, is used with an actuator at one end.

+ FRONT SUSPENSION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description - ACE.
The hydraulic dampers and coil springs provide springing for each front wheel. The long travel dampers, springs and
radius arms provide maximum axle articulation and wheel travel for off-road driving. The front axle is controlled
longitudinally by two forged steel radius arms and transversely by a Panhard rod.
Radius arms
Each radius arm is manufactured from forged steel. Two bushes are pressed into the forward end of the radius arm.
The forward end of the radius arm is located in a fabricated bracket on the axle and secured through the bushes with
two bolts and nuts. A bush is pressed into the rear of the radius arm which is also located in a fabricated bracket on
each chassis longitudinal and secured through the bush with a bolt and nut.
The radius arms prevent longitudinal movement of the front axle and because of their length allow maximum axle
articulation. The stiffness of the bushes in each radius arm also contributes to the vehicle roll stiffness.
Each radius arm has a notch on its lower edge which provides location for the vehicle jack.
Dampers
Two conventional telescopic dampers are used to control body/axle movement. A turret is located on a bracket welded
to the chassis. The upper spring seat has four studs which pass through holes in the bracket and align with
corresponding holes in the turret. Four nuts are screwed onto the studs and secure the turret and upper spring seat
to the chassis.
A fabricated platform is welded to the axle. The platform has two captive nuts which provide for the attachment of the
damper. A lower spring seat is located on the platform. Each spring seat is handed and has a bracket which secures
the ABS sensor harness and the front brake hose.
Each damper is fitted with a bush at its upper end. The bush locates in the top of the turret and is secured with a cross
bolt. The lower attachment point for the damper is also fitted with a bush. This bush has a spindle through its centre
with a hole at each end. The spindle is seated on the lower spring seat and the axle platform and secured with two
bolts. The coil spring is fitted in a compressed state between the upper and lower spring seats and assists the damper
in controlling the body/axle movement. The upper and lower bushes are replaceable items.
Rubber bump stops are fitted to the chassis above each end of the axle. The bump stops are progressive in their
compression and prevent the axle from contacting the chassis in the event of maximum suspension travel being
reached. The bump stops revert to their original shape once the compression load has been removed from them.
The damper functions by restricting the flow of a hydraulic fluid through internal galleries within the damper body. A
chromium plated rod moves axially within the damper. As the rod moves, its movement is limited by the flow of fluid
through the galleries thus providing damping of undulations in the terrain. The damper rod is sealed at its exit point
from the body to maintain fluid within the unit and prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture. The seal also acts as a
wiper to keep the rod outer diameter clean. A plastic shroud protects the rod and slides over the body as the damper
moves. The coil spring aids the damper to extend after being compressed and also aids the damping process.
