STEERING KNUCKLE BEARING (35 x 65 x 35)
DISMOUNTING
Dismount the steering knuckle (see chapter
“Dis mounting steering knuckle)
Remove the safety ring from the interior of
the steering knuckle; Depress the bi-c onical bearing, using a F 50 mm
outer diam eter rod.
Place the steering rod using a bushing with inner
diameter F 67 mm.
REMOUNTING
Introduce in the steering knuckle the bearing
support washer
Press the bearing in the steering knuckle, by
means of a 63 mm diameter bushing.
Mount the safety ring in the steering knuckle
NOTE:
The operation shall be performed so that
bushing is no t pressed on the bearing
support washer, in order to perform a correct
mounting and not to damage the bearing. The steering knuckle-bearing a ssembly
shall be placed above the hub – disk assembly
and after centering the support washer, press
the bearing on the hub, using a bushing with
the inner diameter of F 36 mm and an exterior
diameter of F 40 mm.
Continue with the mounting of the steering
knuckle assembly on t he vehicle (see the
chapter “Remounting steering knuckle”)

REAR BEARING ELEMENTS
CHARACTERISTICS
The rear axle is composed of an axle having a “ U“ shaped torsion profile to which
arms are welded. For the transversal stability and the resistance fa tigue improve ment of the cross- bar,
the a xle is equipped with a F 21-mm diameter stabilizer bar. T he ba r is insert ed by welding
on both ends in the axle side arms. The connection of the axle with the chassis is realized by elastic bushings of the spiral
sp ring and the double effect telescopic shock absorber.
The drum a nd the hub c onstitute a common body, a nd are m ounted on the steeri ng
knuckle by means of a be-c onical beari ng, sealed and pre-set.

Before remounting, grease with grease the attachment screws of the rear axle shock
absorber bottom and the chassis, consequently, the connecting screws rear a xle-c hassis. Line up the arm s beari ngs right to t he c hassis supports, mounting them without t ighten-

Remount the springs.
Compress the axle so that rear springs bear on the tray and set back the shock absorber
inner attachment screws. Tighten at the prescribed moment the connecting screws.
Perform the dismounting operations in the reverse order.
Check the maximum allowed axial cleara nce of the bearing using a dial gauge and the
s upport RO541A.
Note
The maximum allowed axle clearance of the bearing is 0.05mm.
Mount the rear wheels, lower t he vehicle on the ground.
