Setting Steering Stop Positions

IMPORTANT:

RXA0109356
RXA0109356-UN-10AUG10

These settings allow 20 mm (0.79 in.) minimum clearance at maximum turn and full axle oscillation. Check for interference with front weights, tie rods, and side frames. If equipped, fenders may deflect against side frame, and/or grille screen during full turn. A minimized turn radius may be obtained by utilizing a shorter stop position.

  1. Adjust fenders (if equipped) and tread settings 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 specifications.

  6. Retighten steering stop retaining nuts to specifications.

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

    NOTE: Settings listed are approximate, due to variations in tire size. Proper steering stop setting is obtained when the tire is 20 mm (0.79 in.) away from frame or side panels, when axle is fully oscillated.
