INSTALLATION - Continued

Using lifting device and the aid of an assistant, position axle (Figure 8, Item 1) and support with jackstands.

NOTE

•

If replacing axle with new assembly, one side of the axle will have the adjustment

plate welded while the other will not. This unwelded plate will allow axle adjustment

and will be welded once alignment is completed. If installing the same axle, the

adjustment plates will already be welded on each side. Alignment procedures will be

necessary if installing a new axle. If installing the same axle, alignment only needs

to be verified.

•

Steps (3) and (4) apply to side of axle that has adjustment plate welded.

Install two rubber pads (Figure 9, Item 4), spring seat cap (Figure 9, Item 3), four screws (Figure 9, Item 2),

washers (Figure 9, Item 5), and nuts (Figure 9, Item 6) on axle (Figure 9, Item 8).

Figure 9.
