FRONT AXLE
L3301, L3901, L4701, WSM
6-S32
Clearance between Front Axle Case Bosses and Bracket
Bushings
1. Measure the front axle case bosses O.D. with an outside
micrometer.
2. Measure the bracket bushing I.D. and calculate the clearance.
3. If the clearance exceeds the allowable limit, replace the bracket
bushing.
Press-fitting Bushing
• When press-fitting a new bushing, observe the dimension
described in the figure.
• After replacing the bushing, be sure to adjust the front axle
rocking force. (See page 6-S7.)

Steering Cylinder I.D.
1. Measure the steering cylinder I.D. with a cylinder gauge.
2. If the cylinder I.D. exceed the allowable limit, replace the
cylinder tube.

Clearance between Rod and Bushing
1. Measure the bushing I.D. with a cylinder gauge.
2. Measure the rod O.D. with a outside micrometer, and calculate
the clearance.
3. If the clearance exceeds the allowable limit, replace as a unit.
