car. Ensure t h a t the upper elastic supports on the
studs projecting from the underside of the vehicle
body are correctly located and insert the spring. Fit
the two support lower caps w i t h elastic pads and
screw onto the stud nuts to a torque wrench setting
of 28.9 Ib/ft.
2 Assemble the brake housing flange onto the steering
knuckle and tighten the nuts to a torque wrench
setting of 14.5 Ib/ft.
3 Assemble the roller bearings and seal into the drum
hub. Pack the bearings and fill the recess between the
bearings w i t h Fiat MR3 grease or an equivalent, and
lightly smear the stub axle. Fit the drum assembly over
the stub axle and replace the washer and nut. Note
that from vehcle number 043624 the righthand hub
has a lefthand thread, the nut being identified by a
circular groove on the outside face. On hubs locked
with a splitpin, tighten the nut to 21.7 Ib/ft, back it off
by approximately 60 deg. (one flat) and fit the splitpin.
On the later pattern hub, with no splitpin, fit a new nut
and make sure it screws in freely. Tighten it to 14.5
Ib/ft, while rocking the hub four or five times to make
sure the bearing is properly seated. Undo the nut
completely, then tighten it again to 5.1 Ib/ft. Back it
off 30 deg. (half a flat) and lock it by staking the rim
into the stub axle spline. Hub end play should be
.001 to .0039 inch.
4 Using Fiat tool A.66059 as shown in FIG 8:13,
reassemble the cap to the hub. Also reassemble the
steering knuckle to the kingpin housing replacing
the t w o upper
thrust rings, the snap ring and the
lower packing ring whose thickness has already been
selected as detailed in Section 8:6 to take up any
play between the knuckle and the kingpin housing.
Secure the steering knuckle pin with the cotter.
5 Reconnect the swinging arm to the wheel assembly
using the special nut and bolt. The nut must be
screwed onto the bolt A (see FIG 8:14), by arranging
the parts so that the angle between the arm plane
and the kingpin housing is approximately 95 deg. as
shown in FIG 8:14. Tighten the nut to a torque
wrench setting of 39.8 Ib/ft.
