Examination
1. The rotation of the wheels is ensured by the transfer of force from the rudder gearbox through the bipod, tie rods and tie rod ends. Parallel to the bipod of the steering wheel, a steering wheel vibration damper is attached.
2. Set the wheels to the straight ahead position and lock the steering wheel.
3. Raise the vehicle so that the wheel is about 2.5 cm off the ground.
4. Check the play in the tie rod ends. To do this, install the indicator so that its leg rests on the edge of the wheel. Slightly shake the wheel in a horizontal plane. If the indicator reading exceeds 6 mm, then it is necessary to check the condition of all tie rod ends and replace worn parts.
5. Raise the front of the vehicle and check the condition of the tie rod ends and tie rod boots, as well as the jamming swivel joints.
