Setting Steering Stop Positions-Version "A" Axle

1. Adjust fenders before setting steering stop positions.

2. Select correct steering stop position for tire size and tread setting. See following charts.

3. Set steering stops to correct position by measuring bolt length, as illustrated.

4. Tighten steering stop retaining nuts to 250 N·m (185 lb-ft).

5. Turn wheel fully to the right. Impact knuckle housing to steering stop five times. Repeat for left side.

6. Retighten steering stop retaining nuts to 250 N·m (185 lb-ft).

IMPORTANT: These settings allow 25 mm (1 in.) minimum clearance at maximum turn and full axle oscillation. Check for interference with front weights, tie rods and side frames. Fenders may deflect against side frame, and/or grille screen during full turn. Minimized turn radius may be obtained by utilizing a shorter stop position.

7. Verify clearance by turning steering wheel fully to the left and then to the right.
