3. Insert a block (2) between steering pivot assembly
(3) and chassis frame (1) to prevent steering pivot
assembly (3) from moving during adjustment, and to
position steering pivot assembly (3) square with
chassis frame (1). Block should be approximately 1 in.
(25.4 mm) thick.
NOTE: Each of the steering linkage assemblies
includes a linkage rod, two ball joints, and two hex nuts.
To allow adjustment, one of the linkage rod ends has
left-hand threads, so one ball joint and hex nut also
have left-hand threads. Before attempting to loosen a
hex nut for linkage disassembly, inspect the visible
threads on the linkage rod to determine thread
direction.
