Chassis lubrication and oil changes included only in some models
Note: Regarding chassis lubrication and oil intervals, refer the Service Publications for Function group 175 Preventive
maintenance intervals .
General
When carrying out oil changes, it is extremely important that as much oil as possible to be drained from the component
and replaced. For this reason, it is best to drain the oil immediately after driving, i.e., when the oil is hot, it is able to
flow easily.
Replace the oil filters when the oil is changed. Old oil filters must always be discarded. Always check the oil level after
filling up.
Warning
Hot oil can cause burns. Use safety gloves.
For information on oil change volumes, oil and grease quality, viscosity and change intervals, refer the Service
Publications for Function group 175 Preventive maintenance intervals .

this position.
Check the clearance and attachment of all of the ball joints in the steering system.
Position the dial gauge 9808092 and the magnetic bracket 9812528 .
Press the ball joint together with to its inner end position using Polygrip pliers. Set the dial gauge to zero.

Check the rubber bushings.

Check the shock absorber attachments.
Check the shock absorber brackets are in good condition and are properly attached.

Check the kingpin bearings

1
Check the axial clearance between the kingpin and the shaft (A) on both sides.
52 / 84
IMPACT 4.00.12 17/11/14
When the axial clearance is measured, the vehicle must be stationary on a flat surface in such a way that there
is a load on the kingpin bearing.
Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance between the kingpin and axle.
For information on the value permitted (A) for the axial clearance, depending on the type of axle, referAdditional
services, op. no. 61101–2.
Check the radial clearance in the kingpin bushing on both sides.
1. Lift the vehicle from under the axle.

2. With the help of an appropriate support or an assistant, apply the service brake in such a way that the clearance
in the wheel bearings does not affect the measurement.
3. Check the clearance in the kingpin bushing, using a rod in the hole in the wheel as a lever with which to lift it.
For information on the radial clearance permitted in the kingpin bushing, depending on the type of axle, refer
In case of doubt over the measurement of the radial clearance in the kingpin bushing, use one of the following
methods to determine the real axial clearance measurement.
Measuring the radial clearance in the kingpin bushing with a dial indicator

53 / 84
IMPACT 4.00.12 17/11/14
Place a dial indicator with a magnetic stand on the front axle so that it is touching the lower part near the kingpin
bushing.
Use a rod as a lever to lift the axle and check the radial clearance in the bushing on the dial indicator.
For information on the radial clearance permitted in the kingpin bushing, depending on the type of axle, refer
Measuring the radial clearance in the kingpin bushing on the tyre side
Lift the wheel, using a bar in the hole in the wheel as a lever.
Place a support, for example, a square, next to the tyre.

54 / 84
IMPACT 4.00.12 17/11/14
Move the lever downwards. At the same time, precisely measure the distance between the support and the tyre.
The radial clearance measured at the measuring point will be greater than the maximum radial clearance
permitted in the bushing, which depends on the distance between the bushing and the side of the tyre.
Check the radial clearance of the kingpin bushings by using the distance measured and the corresponding table,
depending on the type of axle. See the Group 6 Service Publications.
If there are some abnormal tyre wear, vehicle drifting and more clearance than specified for the kingpin, refer
Additional services, op. no. 61101–2 for wheel alignment check.

55 / 84
IMPACT 4.00.12 17/11/14
Note: The front end of the vehicle must be raised and supported with wedges, and the parking brake must be released.
Check the front wheel bearings with a wheel-turning device and listen to the noise made by the bearings whilst
they are rotated.
Note: Note down any abnormal noise in the record sheet.
Abnormal noise in the bearings is a sign that the bearing has suffered wear. The hub bearings must be
replaced.
Check the clearance in the front wheel bearings, using a rod in the wheel hole as a lever with which to lift it. The
bearings must normally be pretensioned. For this reason, there must not be any clearance in them. Do not
confuse clearance in the wheel bearings with clearance in the kingpin bearings.
However, in certain cases there could be a clearance of up to 0.1 mm in the bearing.

56 / 84
IMPACT 4.00.12 17/11/14
If there is clearance in the bearings, this clearance must be measured using a dial indicator.
If the clearance in the bearing is 0.2 mm or more, the hub bearings must immediately be replaced to avoid future
damage.
Note: The clearance in the bearing cannot be adjusted.
For working procedures related to hubs, use the Function group 7 Service Publications as a guide.

If there is clearance in the bearings, this clearance must be measured using a dial indicator.
Note: Note down the clearance in the bearing!
