13. To check the preload adjustment of the bearings,
use the procedure that follows:
a) Put a pound-inch torque wrench on one of the upper
cover bolts so that the handle of the wrench is angle (X)
90° from the center of the bolt directly opposite the bolt
that the torque wrench is on.
b) Check the torque required to turn the steering knuckle
NOTE: The steer wheel and steering link must be
removed before the check is made.
c) The indication must be 4 5 to 6.8 N m (40 to 60 lb in.)
If the indication is too high, add shims between the lower
cover and knuckle. If the indication is too low, shims
must be removed.
