Installation and timing of the steering gears
To install and time the steering gears:
1. Install the alignment pins by following the proce-
dures described in the wheel alignment section of
this chapter.
2. Slide the double-D of the steering gear shaft into the
double-D hole of the inboard steering gear.
NOTE: The inboard steering gear is the same part
number for both sides. If the gear is used on
the left hand side, the LH stamped into the
gear must be facing up. If the gear is for the
right hand side, the RH must be facing up.
See Figure 4.22.
3. Install the washer and the hex screw to hold the
gear to the shaft using a 9/16" wrench.
4. Align the bolt in the drag link ball joint with its corre-
sponding hole in the inboard steering gear while
sliding the gear and pivot shaft into place.
5. Install the hex cap screw and washer.
6. Align the hole of the inboard steering gear with the
hole in the axle casting.
7. Slide the 5/16" alignment pin through the hole in the
axle casting all the way through the inboard steering
gear. See Figure 4.23.
8. Attach the drag link ball joint end to the inboard
steering gear. Use a pair of 1/2" wrenches to tighten
the nut and bolt.
NOTE: If necessary, adjust the drag link ball joint
end so that the hole in the ball joint end lines
up with the hole in the steering gear.
