Inspect forward-rear and rear-rear axle housings
and differentials for cracks.

linings. Linings can absorb grease and oil,
causing early glazing and very poor braking
action. Failure to comply may result in injury
or death to personnel.

Tighten forward-rear and rear-rear axle drive
flange screws 60 to 100 lb-ft (81 to 136 N·m).

Test spring seat bearing free play by placing
jack under spring seat bracket. Raise vehicle so spring
