STEERING LINKAGE
INSPECTION
The steering linkage and steering gear should be in-
spected for wear, leaks or damage when other under ve-
hicle service is performed. The rack and pinion steering
gear end boots should not have excess oil or grease res-
idue on the outside surfaces or surrounding areas
(Fig.1). If boot is leaking, it should be repaired. For
proper service procedures, see Group 19, Steering.
The tie rod end seal should fit securely between the
steering knuckle and tie rod end (Fig.2). The steering
linkage should be lubricated at the time and distance
intervals described in the Lubrication and Mainte-
nance Schedules. Refer to General Information sec-
tion of this group.
TIE ROD END LUBRICATION
Lubricate the steering linkage with Mopar, Multi-
mileage Lube or equivalent. Using a wiping cloth,
clean grease and dirt from around grease fitting and
joint seal. Using a grease gun, fill tie rod end until
lubricant leaks from around the tie rod end side of
the seal (Fig.2). When lube operation is complete,
wipe off excess grease.
LOWER BALL JOINTS
INSPECTION
The front suspension lower ball joints should be in-
spected for wear, leaks or damage when other under ve- hicle service is performed. The ball joint seal should fit
securely between the steering knuckle and lower control
arm (Fig. 3). The ball joints should be lubricated at the
time and distance intervals described in the Lubrication
and Maintenance Schedules. Refer to the General Infor-
mation section of this group.
BALL JOINT LUBRICATION
CAUTION: Do not over fill ball joint with grease,
damage to seal can result.
Lubricate the ball joints with Mopar, Multi-mile-
age Lube or equivalent. Using a wiping cloth, clean
grease and dirt from around grease fitting and joint
seal. Using a grease gun, fill ball joint until seal
starts to swell (Fig. 3). When lube operation is com-
plete, wipe off excess grease.

race cup should be replaced. For proper service pro-
cedures, see Group 5, Brakes. Replace the inner seal
whenever the wheel bearings are serviced.
REAR WHEEL BEARING LUBRICATION
CAUTION: Combining two types of lubricant can
cause bearing failure. Wash used or new bearings
with a suitable solvent and blot dry with a lint free
cloth before packing with new lubricant.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW BEARING TO SPIN AT
HIGH RPM WHEN USING COMPRESSED AIR TO
BLOW CLEANING SOLVENT FROM BEARING.
BEARING CAGE CAN EXPLODE, CAUSING PER-
SONAL INJURY.
TO LUBRICATE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS:
(1) Hoist rear wheels off the ground and support ve-
hicle on safety stands. Refer to Hoisting Recommenda-
tions in the General Information section of this group.
(2) Remove rear wheels.
(3) Remove brake caliper on vehicles with rear disc
brakes. For proper procedure, see Group 5, Brakes. (4) Remove rear wheel hub (drum) assembly and
remove inner grease seal (Fig. 7). For proper service
procedure, see Group 5, Brakes. (5) Inspect bearings, refer to Inspection paragraph
of this procedure. Wash used lubricant from bearings
with solvent and blot or blow dry. (6) Using a bearing packing device, lubricate the
bearings with Mopar, Wheel Bearing Grease or
equivalent. (7) With a wiping cloth, clean used lubricant form
wheel hub assembly and axle spindle. (8) Install inner wheel bearing in the hub assem-
bly, small end of bearing toward hub. With a finger,
smooth out grease around the outside of bearing. (9) Using a seal driver, install new inner hub seal.
(10) Install wheel hub (drum) assembly on axle
spindle. (11) Install outer wheel bearing over the spindle
end, small end of bearing toward hub. With a finger,
smooth out grease around the outside of bearing. (12) Install washer and spindle nut. While rotating
hub, tighten spindle nut to 27 to 34 N Im (240 to 300
in. lbs.) torque. Loosen spindle nut one quarter turn.
Hand tighten spindle nut. (13) Install spindle nut lock cover, cotter pin and
grease cap. (14) Install disc brake caliper on vehicles with disc
brakes. CAUTION: Pump brake pedal several times before
driving vehicle to verify brake operation.
(15) Install wheel and lower vehicle.
BRAKES
BRAKE PAD AND LINING INSPECTION
The brake pads and linings should be inspected at dis-
tance intervals described in the Lubrication and Main-
tenance Schedules. Refer to the General Information
section of this group. If brake pads or linings appear ex-
cessively worn, the brakes would require service. For
proper service procedures, refer to Group 5, Brakes.

BRAKE RESERVOIR LEVEL INSPECTION
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW PETROLEUM OR WATER
BASE LIQUIDS TO CONTAMINATE BRAKE FLUID,
SEAL DAMAGE AND BRAKE FAILURE CAN RESULT.
RELIEVE PRESSURE IN ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYS-
TEM BEFORE ADDING BRAKE FLUID TO RESER-
VOIR. IF NOT, BRAKE FLUID COULD DISCHARGED
FROM THE RESERVOIR POSSIBLY CAUSING PER-
SONAL INJURY.
The brake reservoir level should be inspected when
other under hood service is performed. It is normal
for the reservoir level to drop as disc brake pads
wear. When fluid must be added, use Mopar, Brake
Fluid or equivalent. Use only brake fluid conforming
to DOT 3, Federal, Department of Transportation
specification. To avoid brake fluid contamination, use
fluid from a properly sealed container. On vehicles with anti-lock brakes, depressurize the
system before inspecting fluid level. Turn OFF the
ignition and remove the key. Pump the brake pedal
at least 50 times to relieve the pressure in the sys-
tem.
On all vehicles, if fluid should become low after sev-
eral thousand kilometers (miles), fill the reservoir to
level marks on the side of the reservoir (Fig. 8 or 9).
HEADLAMPS
The headlamps should be inspected for intensity
and aim whenever a problem is suspected. When lug-
gage compartment is heavily loaded, the headlamp
aim should be adjusted to compensate for vehicle
height change. For proper service procedures, refer to
Group 8L, Lamps. DRIVER SUPPLEMENTAL AIRBAG SYSTEM
If the AIRBAG indicator lamp does not light at all,
stays lit or lights momentarily or continuously while
driving, a malfunction may have occurred. Prompt service is required. Refer to Group 8M, Restraint
Systems for proper diagnostic procedures.
BODY LUBRICATION
Body mechanisms and linkages should be inspected,
cleaned and lubricated as required to maintain ease of
operation and to prevent corrosion and wear. Before a component is lubricated, oil, grease and dirt
should be wiped off. If necessary, use solvent to clean
component to be lubricated. After lubrication is com-
plete, wipe off excess grease or oil. During winter season, external lock cylinders should
be lubricated with Mopar, Lock Lubricant or equiva-
lent to ensure proper operation when exposed to water
and ice. To assure proper hood latching component operation,
use engine oil to lubricate the lock, safety catch and
hood hinges when other under hood service is per-
formed. Mopar, Multi-purpose Grease or equivalent
should be applied sparingly to all pivot and slide
contact areas.

INSPECTION
Inspect for broken or distorted clamps, retainers,
and bushings. If bushing replacement is required, the
inner bushing can be removed by opening the split.
The outer bushing must be cut or hammered off the
bar. If replaced, the outer bushings should be forced
on so that approximately 1/2 inch of the bar pro-
trudes. The sway bar to crossmember bushings, should be positioned when installed, so the void on the
bushing is positioned toward the rear of the vehicle
(Fig. 17). Note that the control arm retainers are
symmetric and bend slightly upon installation.
INSTALLATION
(1) If inspection of the sway bar assembly, deter-
mined that sway bar to lower control arm bushings
require replacement. Install the new bushings, by
forcing them onto sway bar using a rotating motion.
Bushings should be installed on sway bar so that sway
bar extends 1/2 inch out past the end of the bushing. (2) If required position sway bar to crossmember
bushings on sway bar with external rib up and void in
the bushing facing the rear of vehicle (Fig. 17). Lift the

and install bolts (Fig. 16). (4) With lower control arms raised to design height,
tighten all retainer attaching bolts to 70 N Im (50 ft.
lbs.) torque. (5) Lower vehicle.
KNUCKLE (FRONT SUSPENSION)
The front suspension knuckle (Fig. 1) provides for
steering control of the vehicle. Supports the brake
caliper and absorbs the loads exerted during vehicle
braking. It also supports the front (driving) hub and
bearing and stub axle assembly. The front suspension knuckle also provides the abil-
ity to align the front wheels of the vehicle. This is done
by allowing for front wheel camber adjustment and the
ability for front tire Toe adjustments The front suspension knuckle is not a serviceable
component. Do not attempt to straighten or repair the
front suspension knuckle in any way. Service repair or replacement of the front (drive) hub
and bearing, can be done with the front suspension
knuckle remaining on the vehicle.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the cotter pin, hub nut lock and spring
washer from the front axle (Fig. 2). (2) Loosen hub nut while the vehicle is on the floor
with the brakes applied (Fig. 3). The hub and drive-
shaft are splined together through the knuckle
(bearing) and retained by the hub nut. (3) Raise and support the vehicle. See Hoisting in
Lubrication and Maintenance, Group 0. (4) Remove the wheel lug nuts, front tire and
wheel assembly and hub nut and washer. (5) Remove the brake caliper adapter to steering

DRIVESHAFT IDENTIFICATION
Driveshafts are identified by the manufacturer. Vehi-
cles can be equipped with any of these driveshaft as-
semblies. Each assembly can be identified as shown in
(Fig. 2).
SERVICE PROCEDURES
Procedures for the removal and installation of the
driveshafts are essentially the same for all front
wheel drive vehicles. Each driveshaft has a spring
within the inboard Tripod C/V joint that maintains
constant engagement with the transaxle. This allows
the drive shaft to be removed without dismantling
part of the transaxle.
CAUTION: Boot sealing is vital to retain special lu-
bricants and to prevent foreign contaminants from
entering the C/V joint. Mishandling, such as allow-
ing the assemblies to dangle unsupported, pulling
or pushing the ends can cut boots or damage C/V
joints. During removal and installation procedures
always support both ends of the driveshaft to pre-
vent damage.
DRIVESHAFTS, REMOVE INSTALL
HUB NUT REMOVAL
Hub nut removal and installation is the same for
all front wheel drive vehicles. For installation see
Hub Nut Assemblies Install. (1) Remove cotter pin, lock and spring washer (Fig.
3).
(2) Loosen hub nut and wheel nuts while vehicle is
on floor and brakes applied (Fig. 4). (3) Raise vehicle, see Hoisting in Lubrication and
Maintenance, Group 0 of this service manual. (4) Remove hub nut, washer, wheel and tire as-
sembly (Fig. 5).
DRIVESHAFT ASSEMBLIES REMOVE
Inboard C/V joints have stub shafts splined into the
differential side gears, or splined into the intermedi-
ate shaft on the right side of an equal length system.
Driveshafts are retained in the side gears by a con-
stant spring force provided by a spring contained
within the inboard C/V joints. (1) For removal of right driveshaft, the speedome-
ter pinion must be removed BEFORE shaft removal
(Fig. 6). (2) Remove clamp bolt securing ball joint stud into
steering knuckle (Fig. 7). (3) Separate ball joint stud from steering knuckle
by prying against knuckle leg and control arm.
CAUTION: Do not damage ball joint or C/V joint
boots (Fig. 8). (4) Separate outer C/V joint splined shaft from hub
by holding C/V housing while moving knuckle(hub)
assembly away (Fig. 9).

General Information ....................... 89 Rear Wheel Alignment..................... 89
GENERAL INFORMATION
Because front wheel drive vehicles are equipped with
rear suspension incorporating stub axles (or wheel
spindles). It is possible to align both the camber and toe
of the rear wheels.
REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Alignment adjustment if required. Is made by adding
0.010 inch shims (from the service package kit) be-
tween the spindle mounting surface and axle mounting
plate. Each shim equals wheel change by .3É as shown
(for all car lines) in (Figs. 3 to 6). If rear wheel alignment is required, place vehicle on
alignment rack and check alignment specifications.
When recording rear toe-in (vehicle backed onto
alignment rack) REMEMBER to reverse sign
convention; a total toe-in on direct reading
charts is actually toe-out while driving. Maintain
rear alignment within Chrysler Motors recommenda-
tions, found in Specifications.
INSTALLATION OF REAR ALIGNMENT SHIMS
(1) Block front tires so vehicle will not move.
(2) Release parking brake.
(3) Hoist vehicle so that rear suspension is in full
rebound and tires are off the ground. See Hoisting in
Lubrication and Maintenance, Group 0. (4) Remove wheel and tire assembly.
(5) Pry off grease cap.
(6) Remove cotter pin and castle lock.
(7) Remove adjusting nut.
(8) Remove brake drum (Fig. 1). (9) Loosen four (4) brake assembly and spindle
mounting bolts enough to allow clearance for shim
installation (Fig. 2). Do not remove mounting
bolts.
(10) Install shims as shown in Figs. 3, 4, 5 and 6
for desired wheel change. No more than two shims
on each spindle should be used to bring alignment
within acceptable range. Wheel change by .3É per shim.
(11) Tighten down the 4 brake support plate and
spindle to axle mounting bolts until they are snug.
Then tighten the 4 bolts to the torque values listed
for the vehicle line which is being serviced.
