wheel bolts ISUZU TROOPER 1998 Service Repair Manual

GENERAL REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and chock the
front or rear wheels before lifting the vehicle.
2. Use covers on the vehicle body, seats, and
floor to prevent damage and/or
contaminations.
3. Disconnect the grounding cable from the
battery before performing service operations.
This will prevent cable damage or burning due
to shortcircuiting.
4. Raise the vehicle with a jack set against the
recommended lifting points (see ÒLifting
instructionsÓ in this section).
5. Support the vehicle on chassis stands.
6. Handle brake fluid and antifreeze solution with
great care.
Spilling these liquids on painted surfaces will
damage the paint.
7. The use of the proper tool(s) and special tool(s)
where specified is essential to efficient,
reliable, and safe service operations.
8. Always use genuine ISUZU replacement parts.
9. Discard used cotter pins, gasket, plastic clips,
O-rings, oil seals, lock washers, and self-
locking nuts at disassembly.
Normal function of these parts cannot be
guaranteed if they are reused.
10. Keep the disassembled parts neatly in groups.
This will facilitate smooth and correct
reassembly.11. Keep fixing nuts and bolts separate.
Fixing nuts and bolts vary in hardness and
design according to installation positions.
12. Clean all parts before inspection or
reassembly.
13. Clean the oil ports and other openings with
compressed air to make certain that they are
free of dirt and obstructions.
14. Lubricate the rotating and sliding faces of all
moving parts with oil or grease before
installation.
15. Use the recommended liquid gasket to prevent
leakage.
16. Carefully observe all nut and bolt torque
specifications.
17. When service operation is completed, make a
final check to be sure service has been done
properly and problem has been corrected.
18. When removing or replacing parts that require
refrigerant to be discharged from the air
conditioning system, be sure to use the
following tools to recover and recycle the
Refrigerant-134a (R-134a).
For 134a:
Use the R-134a Refrigerant Recovery/Recovery/
Recycling/Recharging/System (ACR
4) or its
equivalent to prevent the discharge of
refrigerant into the air.

00 – 4 SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Since the problems in steering, suspension,
wheels and tires involve several systems, they
must all be considered when diagnosing a
complaint. To identify the symptom, always road
test the vehicle first.
Proceed with the following preliminary inspections
and correct any defects which are found.1. Inspect tires for proper pressure and uneven
wear.
2. Raise vehicle on a hoist and inspect front and
rear suspension and steering linkage for loose
or damaged parts.
3. Spin front wheels. Inspect for out-of-round
tires, out-of-balance tires, loose and/or rough
wheel bearings.

ADJUSTMENT
The maximum steering angle of the front wheels can be
adjusted with the stopper bolts under the frame side
members.
1. Position each front wheel on the turning radius gauge
in a straight-ahead position.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. Adjust the inside wheel angle of each side with the
stopper bolts.
NOTE:
The maximum protruding length (L) of stopper bolt from
the lock nut should be 10 mm (0.4 in) or less.

This steering wheel and column repair section
covers the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
steering column. The following repair procedures
are specific to SRS Components. When servicing a
vehicle equipped with Supplemental Restraint
System, pay close attention to all WARNINGS and
CAUTIONS.
For detailed explanation about SRS, refer to Section
9J "SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)"
of manual.
The steering column has three important features in
addition to the steering function:
1. The column is energy absorbing, designed to
compress in a front-end collision to minimize
the possibility of injury to the driver of the
vehicle.
2. The ignition switch and lock are mounted
conveniently on the column.
3. With the column mounted lock, the ignition
and steering operation can be locked to
prevent theft of the vehicle.
The column may be disassembled and
reassembled. To insure the energy absorbing
action, it is important that the specified screws,
bolts and nuts be used only as designated and that
they are tightened to the specified torque.
When the column is removed from the vehicle, a
sharp blow on the end of steering shaft or shift
lever, leaning on the column assembly, or dropping
the assembly could shear or loosen the fasteners
that maintain column rigidity.
WARNING
THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL RE-
STRAINT SYSTEM (SRS).REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW
IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING. WHEN
YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR
THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING,
REFER TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORM ATION.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RE-
SULT IN POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UN-
NEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.
SAFE HANDLING OF INFLATOR MODULES
REQUIRES FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURES
DESCRIBED BELOW FOR BOTH LIVE AND
DEPLOYED MODULES.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWEDWHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED AIR BAG AS-
SEMBLY (AIR BAG). AFTER DEPLOYMENT,
THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY (AIR BAG) SURFACE
MAY CONTAIN A SMALL AMOUNT OF SODIUM
HYDROXIDE, A BY-PRODUCT OF THE DEPLOY-
MENT REACTION, THAT IS IRRITATING TO THE
SKIN AND EYES.MOST OF THE POWDER ON
THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY (AIR BAG) IS HARM-
LESS. AS A PRECAUTION, WEAR GLOVES
AND SAFETY GLASSES WHEN HANDLING A
DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, AND WASH
YOUR HANDS WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER
AFTERWARDS.
WHEN CARRYING A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY,
MAKE SURE THE BAG AND TRIM COVER ARE
POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. NEVER CARRY
AN AIR BAG ASSEMBLY BY THE WIRES OR
CONNECTOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF MODULE.
IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOY-
MENT, THE BAG WILL THEN DEPLOY WITH
MINIMAL CHANCE OF INJURY. WHEN PLACING
A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY ON A BENCH OR
OTHER SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE BAG AND
TRIM COVER UP, AWAY FROM THE SURFACE.
NEVER REST A STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY
ON THE STEERING WHEEL WITH THE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY FACE DOWN AND COLUMN
VERTICAL.THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT A
FREE SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY TO EXPAND IN THE UNLIKELY
EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT. OTHER-
WISE, PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT.
TO AVOID DEPLOYMENT WHEN TROUBLE
SHOOTING THE SRS SYSTEM, DO NOT USE
ELECTRICAL TEST EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS
BATTERY-POWERED OR A/C-POWERED VOLT-
METER, OHMMETER, ETC., OR ANY TYPE OF
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN SPECI-
FIED IN THIS MANUAL. DO NOT USE A NON-
POWERED PROBE-TYPE TESTER.
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL MUST BE
FOLLOWED CAREFULLY, OTHERWISE PER-
SONAL INJURY MAY RESULT. 2A – 52 SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM STEERING WHEEL & COLUMN

1) Support the module and carefully connect the
module connector.
CAUTION:
·Never use the air bag assembly from another vehicle.
Use only the air bag assembly for "UBS".
·When replace the inflator module, use only same parts
number assembly. If different parts number assembly is
installed, the air bag system can not function correctly
because it has different characteristic.
NOTE:
Pass the lead wire through the tabs on the plastic
cover (wire protector) of inflator to prevent lead wire
from being pinches.
