Characteristics
WHEELS
The wheels identification marking is repre sented in two ways: -engraved marking for steel rims
- cast marking for aluminum rims
The marking enables acknowledgment of the main wheels dimensions criteria.
This marki ng may be:
- Complete Example : 5.5 J 14 4 CH 43 , or
- Simplified
Example: 5.5 J 14
The wheel attachment holes are situated on a diameter of 100 mm.
Maximum axial runout : to be measured in points P1 and P2.
Maximum radial runout : to be measured in points G1 and G2.

REMOU NT I NG
At each dismounting, it is OBLIGATORY the replacement of the limiter washer( 1) as well
as of the safety washer ( 2).
M ount in the rack : j oint body ( 3), not before positioning the safety washer ( 2), the limiter
w asher (1) and oiling the t hreaded pa rt ( 4) of the j oint body with FIXAMED R 58-C.S.1/82
(not excessively).
After tightening to t he required m oment of the axial ball joint on the rack, bend the safety
w asher over one of the cuts made on the joint body.
By means of the DIR 1306 , lock up the rack in regard to t he steering box casing.
Tighten to the required moment of 5 daNm, the joint body in the rack by means of the
DIR 505 wrench.
M ount the funnel ball joint in the steering knuckle arm, then tighten the nut to the required
moment of 4 daNm.
P osition the steering at the middle point ( wheels being in straight line position) in order to
balance the air from bellows. Mount the bellows in its c hannel from the steering box casing and secure it using a clip.
CHECKING
S lightly tighten by hand one of the bellows in order to check the other one inflation, in this
