Remarks: If the screw installation hole on the lock washer can not
align with the screw hole on the lock nut, then it can remove the lock
washer and adjust he lock nut slightly (rotate in the direction of
Min. adjusting range ); then install the lock washer.
7. Recheck the pre-applied load
Use the spring tension meter to recheck the pre-applied load.
Pre-applied load (for starting): 28-56N
If the pre-applied load does not meet the specified value, it must remove
the lock washer and adjust it by the adjusting nut.
8. Install the hub cap
a. Coat the silicon rubber surface sealant on the matching surface of
hub and hub cap.
b. Coat the screw of the inner hexagon bolt with the screw lock sealant.
c. Use the inner hexagon bolt to fix the hub cap and ring flange on the
hub; tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
Tightening force: 45
5Nm
9. Install the disc brake
Install the disc brake on the steering knuckle and tighten the bolt to the
specified torque.
Tightening force: 140
10Nm

Check and replacement of steering knuckle
Use the dye penetrant to check the steering knuckle for
crack.It should replace the steering knuckle if has crack.
Installation of steering knuckle
1. Install the steering knuckle
a. Install the lower ball pin on the steering knuckle and install the
slotted nut temporarily.
b. Press down the upper arm and connect the upper ball pin to the
steering knuckle. Install and tighten the nut to the specified torque.
Tightening force: 145
15Nm
c. Install the new split pin.
Remarks: It should align the notch of nut with the pinhole
when install the split pin; the nut can be tightened but not
loosed during the alignment.
Tightening force: 23020Nm
e. Install the new split pin.
Remarks: It should align the notch of nut with the pinhole
when install the split pin; the nut can be tightened but not
loosed during the alignment.
Tightening force: 635Nm

3. Connect the steering cross rod to the steering
knuckle arm.
a. Tighten the slotted nut according to the specified torque.
Tightening force: 170
15Nm
b. Install the new split pin.
Remarks: It should align the notch of nut with the pinhole
when install the split pin; the nut can be tightened but not
loosedduring the alignment.
Tightening force: 233Nm
5. Install the front hub and disc brake

Ball pin
Inspection of ball pin
1. Check the lower ball pin for loose
a. Raise the front of the car by jack and support it by the frame.
b. Ensure the front wheel is in straight advancing position and
step down the brake pedal.
c. Move the arm upwardly and downwardly; check the
clearance of lower ball pin.
Max. vertical clearance: 0mm
2. Check the upper ball pin for loose;
move the wheel upwardly and downwardly and check the gap of
upper ball pin.
Max. vertical clearance: 0mm
3. Check the rotation of ball pin
a. Remove the ball pin.
b. Shown as figure, shake the ball pin stud forwardly and
backwardly for several times before install the nut.
c. Rotate the nut continuously by torsion meter and 2-4s for a
cycle; record the readout of torsion meter in the fifth cycle.
tightening torque (for rotary):
lower ball pin 0.1
4Nm
upper ball pin 0.1
4Nm
Disassembly of ball pin
1.Take down the steering knuckle and front wheel hub assy.
Page 191 of 425
d. Tighten the adjusting bolt to make the extension length of the bolt
equal to the length before remove.
2. For new torsion bar spring
a. Remove the wheel.
b. Coat thin grease on the spline of the torsion bar spring.
c. Install the torsion bar spring on the torsion bar base.
d. Lower the lower arm to the lower limitation position; install the
adjusting arm in the torsion bar spring with the angle that the
adjusting bolt just can be screwed on the upper adjusting block.
e. Tighten the adjusting bolt to the specified torque.
Nut tightening limitation: A is about 30-35mm; if A>
35mm, then it is adjusted through height of adjusting arm.
f. Install the wheel; remove the bracket; bounce the vehicle for
several times to make the suspension enters into the stable
status.
g. Rotate the adjusting bolt and adjust the ground clearance of
chassis (Refer to 4-Wheel Alignment).
