12.2 STEERING STABILIZER CYLINDER
(DAMPER)
The steering damper is located on R.H. side, at
back of front axle (Fig. 20).
The cylinder is nonadjustable and non-repairable.
Check for oil leaks or lack of resistance.
Disconnect the cylinder from axle, then carefully
attempt to extend and collapse it manually.
The rod end (ball joint) is provided with a grease
fitting. Under normal conditions, it should be
serviced every 6,250 miles (10 000 km) or twice a
year, whichever comes first. Good quality lithium-
base grease NLGI No. 1 and 2 are recommended
(refer to section 24 "Lubrication"). Check the ball
joint for wear, and replace if necessary.
12.3 DRAG LINK
