PRE-WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
Before any attempt is made to change or correct
the wheel alignment factors. The following part
inspection and the necessary corrections should be
made to those parts which influence the steering of
the vehicle.
(1) Check and inflate all tires to recommended
pressure. All tires should be the same size and in
good condition and have approximately the same
wear. Note the type of tread wear which will aid in
diagnosing, see Wheels and Tires, Group 22.
(2) Check front wheel and tire assembly for radial
runout.
(3) Inspect lower ball joints and all steering link-
age for looseness.
(4) Check for broken or sagged front and rear
springs.(5) Check vehicle ride height to verify it is within
specifications.
(6) AlignmentMUSTonly be checked after the
vehicle has the following areas inspected and or
adjusted. Recommended tire pressures, full tank of
fuel, no passenger or luggage compartment load and
is on a level floor or a properly calibrated alignment
rack.

Mc PHERSON STRUT ASSEMBLY
The front suspension of the vehicle is supported by
coil springs positioned around the strut assembly.
The springs are contained between an upper seat,
located just below the top strut mount assembly and
a lower spring seat on the strut fluid reservoir.
The top of each strut assembly is bolted to the
upper fender reinforcement (strut tower) through a
rubber isolated mount.
The bottom of the strut assembly attaches to the
steering knuckle with two through bolts. Caster is a
fixed setting on all vehicles and is not adjustable
when an alignment is performed. In the event the
camber setting on a vehicle requires adjustment, a
service strut is available which will provide a method
by which the camber can be adjusted.
The strut assemblies on this vehicle are inter-con-
nected by the front stabilizer bar through 2 link
assemblies attaching the struts to the stabilizer bar.
STEERING KNUCKLE
The steering knuckle (Fig. 1) is a single casting
with legs machined for attachment of the strut
damper, steering linkage, disc brake caliper, and
lower control arm ball joint. The steering knuckle
also has the front hub/bearing assembly mounted to
it. The hub is positioned through the bearing and
knuckle, with the constant velocity stub shaft splined
through the hub.
LOWER CONTROL ARM
The lower control arm is an iron casting. The lower
control arm is mounted to and isolated from the body
of the vehicle using 2 types of rubber bushings. The
front lower control arm bushing is the spool type and
is pressed into the lower control arm, while the rear
uses a bushing that is pushed over a stem on the
lower control arm. The front and rear of the lower
control arm is mounted to the cast crossmemberusing a pivot bolt through the center of the front
pivot bushing, and a retainer which traps the rear
bushing in the crossmember.
The ball joint is pressed into the control arm and
has a non-tapered stud with a notch for clamp bolt
clearance. The stud is clamped and locked into the
steering knuckle leg with a clamp bolt.
The ball joint is lubricated for the life of the vehi-
cle and does not require any periodic lubrication.
STABILIZER BAR
The stabilizer bar interconnects both Mc Pherson
strut assemblies of the vehicle and is attached
through rubber isolator bushings to the front suspen-
sion cradle
Jounce and rebound movements affecting one
wheel are partially transmitted to the opposite wheel
to stabilize body roll.
Attachment of the stabilizer bar to the front sus-
pension cradle is through 2 rubber-isolator bushings
and bushing retainers. The stabilizer bar to Mc Pher-
son strut assembly attachment is done utilizing a
sway bar attaching link. All parts of the stabilizer
bar are serviceable, and the stabilizer bar to cross-
member bushings are split for easy removal and
installation. The split in the stabilizer bar to cross-
member bushing should be positioned toward the
rear of the vehicle, with the square corner down
toward the ground, when the stabilizer bar is
installed in the vehicle.
STABILIZER BAR ATTACHING LINK
The stabilizer bar attaching links are used to
attach each end of the stabilizer bar to the front
strut assemblies. This reduces the fore-and-aft rate of
the stabilizer bar from the rest of the vehicle's front
suspension.
HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY
The Unit III Front Hub and Bearing Assembly is
used on all front wheel drive vans.
All hub and bearing assemblies mount to the steer-
ing knuckle the same way, but very by the wheel size
on the vehicle. Vehicles equipped with 14 inch wheels
have a 4 inch wheel mounting stud pattern. Vehicles
equipped with 15 inch wheels have a 4 1/2 inch
wheel mounting stud pattern. If a hub and bearing
assembly needs to be replaced, be sure that the
replacement assembly has the same size wheel
mounting stud pattern as the original part.
This unit is serviced only as a complete assembly.
It is mounted to the steering knuckle by four mount-
ing bolts that are removed from the rear of the steer-
ing knuckle.

COIL SPRING
Coil springs are rated separately for each corner or
side of the vehicle depending on optional equipment
and type of vehicle service. During service procedures
when both springs are removed, mark springs to
ensure installation in original position. Each coil
spring comes with a plastic sleeve on the second coil
of the spring. This plastic sleeve is a noise insulator
for the coil spring.
NOTE: If coil springs require replacement, be sure
that the springs needing replacement, are replaced
with springs meeting the correct load rating for the
vehicle and its specific options.
BALL JOINT
The ball joint (Fig. 2) is pressed into the lower con-
trol arm. The ball joint has a non-tapered stud with
a notch (Fig. 2) to provide clearance for the steering
knuckle clamp bolt and to provide retention of the
ball stud in the steering knuckle. The ball joint stud
is clamped and locked into the steering knuckle leg
using a pinch bolt. The ball joint used on this vehicle
is replaceable and if found defective can be serviced
as a separate component of the lower control arm
assembly.
WHEEL MOUNTING STUDS
If wheel attaching studs need to be replaced in the
hub and bearing assembly the studsCAN NOTbe
hammered out of the hub flange. If a stud is removed
by hammering it out of the bearing flange, damage to
the hub and bearing assembly will occur leading to
premature bearing failure.
Use the procedure and special tools shown in the
service procedures section for the wheel mounting
studs when replacing the wheel attaching studs.
The hub and bearing assembly does not require
removal from the steering knuckle or the rearknuckle to replace the wheel attaching studs in the
hub and bearing assembly.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Mc PHERSON STRUT
(1) Inspect for damaged or broken coil springs (Fig. 3).
(2) Inspect for torn or damaged strut assembly
dust boots (Fig. 3).
(3) Inspect the coil spring isolator on the lower
spring seat, (Fig. 3) for any signs of damage or dete-
rioration.
(4) Lift dust boot (Fig. 4) and inspect strut assembly for
evidence of fluid running from the upper end of fluid res-
ervoir. (Actual leakage will be a stream of fluid running
down the side and dripping off lower end of unit). A slight
amount of seepage between the strut rod and strut shaft
seal is not unusual and does not affect performance of the
strut assembly (Fig. 4). Also inspect jounce bumpers for
signs of damage or deterioration.
