Tie Rod End / Wheel Hub Inspection
• To check for play in the tie rod end, grasp the
steering tie rod, pull in all directions feeling for
movement.
• Replace any worn steering components. Steering
should move freely through entire range of travel
without binding.
• Elevate front end of machine so front wheels are
off the ground. Check for any looseness in front
wheel/hub assembly by grasping the tire firmly at
top and bottom first, and then at front and rear. Try
to move the wheel and hub by pushing inward and
pulling outward.
• If abnormal movement is detected, inspect the hub
and wheel assembly to determine the cause
(loose wheel nuts or loose front hub nut).
• Refer to Chapter 7 “Final Drive” for front hub
service procedures.
Wheel Toe Alignment Inspection
1. Place machine on a smooth level surface and set
steering wheel in a straight ahead position. Secure
the steering wheel in this position.
2. Place a chalk mark on the center line of the front tires
approximately 10” (25.4 cm) from the floor or as close
to the hub/axle center line as possible.
NOTE: It is important the height of both marks be
equally positioned to get an accurate measurement.
3. Measure the distance between the marks and record
the measurement. Call this measurement “A”.
4. Rotate the tires 180° by moving the vehicle forward.
Position chalk marks facing rearward, even with the
hub/axle center line.
5. Again measure the distance between the marks and
record. Call this measurement “B”. Subtract
measurement “B” from measurement “A”. The
difference between measurements “A” and “B” is the
vehicle toe alignment. The recommended vehicle toe
tolerance is 1/8” to 3/16” (3.2 to 4.8 mm) toe out. This
means the measurement at the front of the tire (A) is
1/8” to 3/16” (3.2 to 4.8 mm) wider than the
measurement at the rear (B).
Check for Loose Wheel or Hub
Wheel Toe-Out:
(A) - (B) = 1/8" to 3/16" (3.2 to 4.8 mm)
