INSPECTION
Inspect the condition of all the components,
especially those listed below.
Bearings
Turn the inner ring (1) by hand; it should rotate without
blocking and/or making any noise.
There should be no axial play. Bearings that show
signs of these problems must be replaced.
Apply grease to the balls (or rollers) at the side of
each bearing, see (LUBRICANT CHART).
This operation is not required of the bearing is of
the self-lubricating type.
Front axle
Using a dial indicator, check the radial runout of the
pin.
If it exceeds limit values, replace the pin.
Max. radial runout: 0.0098 in (0.25 mm)
Apply grease to the pin (bearing contact point
only), see (LUBRICANT CHART).
Rim
Using a dial indicator, determine that the radial and
axial runout of the rim are within specification.
Excessive runout is usually caused by worn or dam-
aged bearings or a bent axle. If after checking these
components, you determine the rim still does not meet
specification, the rim must be replaced.
Max. radial and axial runout: 0.078 in (2 mm)
Speedometer transmission
Check that there are no signs of damage and/or
excessive wear.
Tires
Check the condition of the tires, see (TIRES).
