Engine To Frame Ground
Inspect ground cable connections. Be sure they are clean and
tight. The engine ground cable runs from the starter motor to the
chassis ground terminal.
STEERING
Steering Inspection
The steering components should be checked periodically for
loose fasteners, worn tie rod ends, ball joints, and damage. Also
check to make sure all cotter pins are in place. If cotter pins are
removed, they must not be re–used. Always use new cotter pins.
Replace any worn or damaged steering components. Steering
should move freely through the entire range of travel without
binding. Check routing of all cables, hoses, and wiring to be sure
the steering mechanism is not restricted or limited.
NOTE: Whenever steering components are
replaced, check front end alignment.
Steering Wheel Freeplay
Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and operation.
1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right.
3. There should be 0.8”-1.0” (20-25 mm) of freeplay.
4. If there is excessive freeplay or the steering feels rough,
inspect the following components.
• Tie Rod Ends
• Steering Shaft U-Joints
• Steering Gearbox
