Grease fittings for the steering system are found on both ends of the drag link (the bar connecting the
steering gear to the axle), and on the intermediate steering shaft located between the steering wheel and
steering gear. Correct wheel alignment promotes longer tire wear and ease of handling while minimizing
the strain on the steering system and axle components. Use NLGI #2 Lithium soap base lubricant for all
steering linkage and brake components.
INSPECTION:
Wheel bearings should be inspected for wear whenever the hubs are removed from
the front axle.
