(11)= Chassis Lubrication Service: Lubricate all
grease fittings in front suspension, front axle,
and steering linkage. DO NOT lubricate kingpin
bushings with air pressure equipment; instead,
use a hand grease gun to ensure complete purge
and eliminate sealer cap distortion. Front axle
tie rod ends, both upper and lower kingpin fittings,
and both steering linkage relay rod ends should
be greased with the vehicle loaded on the ground
and wheels turned straight ahead, NOT with
the vehicle on a hoist. Apply kingpin bushing
lubricant to both upper and lower kingpin grease
fittings until new lubricant purges from between
the upper shim pack and thrust bearing. Lubricate
transmission and shift linkage, hood latches
and hood hinges, parking brake lever pivot, clevis
pins and linkage, disc brake caliper rails, clutch
linkage and release bearing (if equipped), bearing
pads, propshaft universal joints, brake camshaft
bracket, slack adjusters, pedal shaft, clutch
cross shaft, clutch pedal springs, and clutch cable
bushing at transmission. Lubricate suspension,
axle, and steering linkage more often when
operating under dusty or muddy conditions and in
excessive off-road use. Frequently power-washed
vehicles will require more frequent lubrication.(12)= Check steering system:
•Look for damaged, loose, or missing parts.
Inspect the steering linkage relay rod and
tie rod ends for looseness or lack of lubricant.
Also look for parts showing signs of wear
or lack of lubrication. Replace parts as
needed. Also check steering gear mounting
bolts, pitman arm nut, gear housing upper
cover and side cover attaching bolts, steering
column mounting bolts and cardan joint
clamp bolts; tighten if necessary. See the
service manual.
•Inspect power steering hoses, tubes, and
fittings for leaks. Hoses and lines must not
be twisted, kinked, or tightly bent. Make sure
clips, clamps, supporting tubes, and hoses
are in place and properly secured.
•Check steering gear for leakage around
pitman shaft and housing. If leakage is evident
(lubricant oozing out, not just oily film), leak
should be corrected immediately.

Starter Switch Check
{CAUTION:
When you are doing this inspection, the
vehicle could move suddenly. If the vehicle
moves, you or others could be injured.
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough
room around the vehicle.
2. Firmly apply both the parking brake and the
regular brakes.
Do not use the accelerator pedal, and be ready
to turn off the engine immediately if it starts.
3. On automatic transmission vehicles, try to
start the engine in each gear. The starter
should work only in PARK (P), if equipped,
or NEUTRAL (N). If the starter works in
any other position, your vehicle needs service.
On manual transmission vehicles, the starter
should work only when the clutch pedal is
all the way down.
Automatic Transmission Shift
Indicator Check
Check that the indicator points to the gear chosen.
Steering Check
Be alert for any changes in steering action,
abnormal front tire wear or steering wheel position.
An inspection or service is needed when the
steering wheel is harder to turn or has too much
free play, or if there are strange sounds when
turning or parking.
Brake System Check
Be alert to illumination of the low air warning lamp
or for the tone alarm, or changes in braking
action, such as repeated pulling to one side,
unusual sounds when braking or increased
brake pedal travel. Make sure air brake system
reservoirs are drained daily with full system
air pressure, and check system for leaks.
Any of these conditions could indicate the need
for brake system inspection and/or service.
