2.1 INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT OF SWIVEL AXLE PLAY
Checking swivel axle play
1.
The vehicle must have its wheels on the
ground.
Note:
If the wheels have been taken off the front
axle (to be overhauled, for example), the
swivel axle will hang loose on the axle end.
In that case, place a jack under the swivel
axle so that the swivel axle is pushed
against the underside of the axle end.
2.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the distance
between the shim and the swivel axle at
(A). Take measurements in several places.
Compare the measured value with the
admissible play, see “Technical data”.
Note:
The play should be about equal around the
entire circumference of the axle end. If it is
not, this indicates that there is radial play in
the needle bearings. If there is radial play
and one of the measurements taken differs
from the specified value, the needle
bearings must be replaced, see “Removal
and installation”.
If excessive axial play is measured around
the entire circumference of the axle end,
the swivel axle thrust bearing is probably
worn.
