STEERING
SYSTEM

O-L
GENERAL

The
steering system on all Jeep Universal vehicles
consists of the steering gear, steering wheel, steering column and shaft, and steering linkage.
This

section covers wheel alignment, steering linkage,
steering gear, steering column and steering wheel.
0-2. Steering
Gear
Function

The
steering gear is a reducing gear. It exchanges a

relatively
large amount of movement with a small force (applied by the driver at the steering wheel), for a much smaller amount of movement with a
greatly increased force through a cam and lever
action type steering gear. The steering gear ratio is 17.9 to 1 on vehicles equipped with the F4
engine

and
19 to 1 with the V6 engine.
0-3. Steering
Linkage
Refer
to Fig. O-l.
The
steering linkage consists of a steering arm at­
tached to the steering gear, a steering connecting

rod,
(drag
link),
connecting the steering arm to the
beilcrank,
and a steering tie rod connecting the
beilcrank
to the axle tie rod. The beilcrank pivots
on a pin mounted just to the left of the frame front crossmember. The steering tie rod is connected to
the beilcrank and
extends
to the right
ball
joint as­ sembly of tie rod. The tie rod
extends
to the wheels,
being connected to their respective steering knuckle

arms
at the wheels.
With
this linkage arrangement,
as the steering arm
moves
rearward,
the front
wheels
turn
to the left. As the steering arm
moves
forward,
the wheels
turn
to the right.
Ball
joints are used to secure the drag
link,
steering
connecting rod and tie rod ends. The
ball
joints
assist in maintaining
good
steering control and con­
stant toe-in of the front wheels under all driving conditions. If the
ball
joints
become
worn enough
to allow free motion in the linkage, they should be,

replaced.

Note:
Ball
joint replacement of the tie rod requires
resetting of the wheel toe-in adjustment.
0-4.
Steering
Column
and Gear
Alignment
When
adjusting a steering gear remove all loads
from
the unit by disconnecting the steering con­
necting rod (drag
link)
from the steering arm and
also
loosen
the instrument panel bracket and the
steering gear to frame
bolts
to allow the steering
post
to correctly align itself. When retightening the
steering gear to frame
bolts
use a torque wrench
pull
of 45 to 55 lb-ft. [6,2 a 7,6 kg-m.] on the

Vk*
bolts
and 30 to 40 lb-ft. [4,15 a 5,5 kg-m.] on the
Vs"
bolts. 10811

deflate completely and then force the tire away

from
the rim throughout the entire circumference
until
the bead falls into the center of the wheel

rim.
If the vehicle is equipped with tires that use

an
inner tube, carefully remove the inner tube.
With
the inner tube removed, or on tubeless tires, a tire
removing tool should be used to remove the tire

from
the rim.

Installation
of the tire is made in the same manner
by first dropping one side of the tire into the center
of the rim and with a tire tool raise the bead over
the wheel
rim.
The inner tube can now be installed
on vehicles so equipped.
When
mounting the wheel, alternately tighten op­
posite stud nuts. After the nuts have been tightened

with
the wheel jacked up, lower the
jack
so wheel rests on the floor and retighten nuts. Torque nuts
to 60-75 lb.-ft. [8,3 a 10,4 kg-m.].

Note:
New "wide" tires have been given new sizes
by tire manufacturers. They use a letter as a key
unit
in the name size for the new wide treads.

The
single letter in front of the "70" indicates load rating, or the weight a tire can support safely
when inflated to 32 psi. The number 70 is used to show the
7-to-10
(70 percent) ratio of tire section height to width. The last two-digit number of the new sizes— 15 —
is
the rim diameter.
Radial

tire sizes all contain the letter
"R"
to designate
radial
ply construction.

Straightening Frame

In
case the bending or twisting of the frame is not
excessive, it may be straightened.
This
should be
done
cold, as excessive heat applied to the frame

will
weaken it. For this reason it is recommended that badly damaged frame parts be replaced.

Note:
A technique known as "controlled heat" can
be utilized where a frame section is "squashed" and must be brought out without "tearing" or excessive

stretch
to the metal.
R-5.
Front
Axle
Alignment

After
it has been determined that the frame is prop­

erly
aligned, the front axle alignment with the

frame
can be checked. The front axle is square

with
the frame if the distance
between
the front

and
rear
axle is the same on both sides. The dis­
tance from the spring upper bushings to the front
axle on both sides should be equal.

Note:
Always inspect the springs for broken spring
center
bolts
when checking the frame and axle
alignment.
R-6. Draw Bar

Fig.
R-4, shows method of attachment and bracing of the Jeep draw bar. The braces and the reinforce­

the height of attachment.
Check
the attaching

bolts
periodically to be sure they are tight at all
times.

U-2. EXTRA
EQUIPMENT

Much
of the utility of the
*
Jeep*
Universal
is due to
the extra equipment which has been designed to adapt it for farming and industry. The mainte­
nance and use of
some
of this equipment is out­
lined
in this section.

U-3.
Governor Assembly

The
Novi governor is supplied for models equipped

with
the F4 engine.
This
is a centrifugal type governor and is illustrated in Fig. U-2. Complete

installation
instructions are supplied with each
assembly. Adjustment and operating procedures

are
given below.

U-4.
Governor Adjustment

a.
Adjust the carburetor to obtain smooth
engine

idle at 600 rpm., then
stop
the engine.
b.
Check
throttle linkage to ensure maximum
throttle opening. Be certain that throttle and
governor linkage is free.

c.
Place the carburetor throttle in wide-open posi­ tion and
pull
the governor control handle out to
the last notch. Adjust the governor to bellcrank

rod
so that the linkage
will
hold the carburetor
throttle in wide-open position.

d.
Close the governor control and start the
engine

Again
pull
the control out to the last notch and

adjust
the length of the cable at adjusting yoke so
that the
engine
will
run at
2600
rpm. Close the

control
to recheck the linkage for free action and
to make sure the
engine
will
return to 600 rpm.
idle speed.

If
the
engine
runs faster than this speed,
loosen

the lock nut which locks the governor hand control
handle on the dash to the rod and back off the
handle until the carburetor idle speed adjusting

screw
bears on the stop. Tighten the lock nut.
In
the absence of electrical tachometer equipment,

engine
speed may be determined by the speedom­
eter. Safely
jack
up the
rear
wheels and be sure the front wheel drive is not
engaged.
When driving
the
rear
wheels in high or direct transmission gear,
the
speedometer
will
read from 13j^ to 15 mph. [21.6 to 24.0 kph.] at an
engine
speed of from 900
to 1000 rpm.

Novi Governor Operation /

The
Novi governor is directly belted to the F4

engine
as no clutch is provided to disconnect the
drive.

To
operate the vehicle
WITHOUT
governor con­
trol,
push the governor hand control all the way
IN
against the instrument panel.

To
operate the vehicle
WITH
governor control,

pull
the governor hand control handle out. The
hand
control has nine notched positions. Pulling the

control
out to the first notch
sets
the controlled

engine
speed at approximately 1000 rpm. and each successive notch increases the speed 200 rpm.

until
2600
rpm. is reached in the ninth notch. The

hand
control may be released by turning the han­ dle one-quarter
turn
in either direction.

When
the
engine
is being operated under governor

control
(hand control out) the controlled
engine

speed may be
exceeded
at any time by depressing
the
foot
accelerator in the conventional manner to
secure a greater carburetor throttle opening than
that determined by the governor hand control
setting.

U-6.
Governor Maintenance

The
belt tension may be adjusted by raising or
lowering the governor in the slotted
holes
in the mounting bracket. Keep the pulleys and belt free
of
dirt
and oil. Belt slippage
will
affect governor
operation and a tight belt may cause
rapid
wear
of the governor shaft and bearings. Adjust it to
allow Yi' [12,7 mm.] depression midway
between
the pulleys with thumb pressure.
There
is little wear of the internal parts for they
operate in oil. The governor housings are equipped

with
both
fill
and
drain
plugs and also with level

indicating
plugs.
Check
the oil level at each vehicle
lubrication
and change the oil each time the en­

gine
oil is changed using the same grade oil used

in
the engine.

Caution:
Do not
fill
the governor housing above
the level plug. Overfilling
will
prevent governor
control
and possibly cause damage to governor in­

ternal
parts. The capacity of
these
governors is two fluid ounces [59,15 cm3]. The filler plug is
also a vent which should be cleaned thoroughly at
each oil change to be sure that the vent operates.

U-7.
Pintle Hook

The
standard type pintle hook, Fig. U-1, affords a
safe, easy hitch for towing a
trailer
or other vehicle. 357

u

MISCELLANEOUS
Designed primarily for use on the road, a safety

latch
locks the hook in the closed position and two
eye
bolts
are provided for attachment of safety chains which should be crossed when installed, to
prevent the hooks from jumping out of the
eyes.

Keep
the attaching
bolts
tight at all times. When

lubricating
the vehicle, place a few drops of oil on the hook and safety latch pivot pins.
FIG.
U-l—PINTLE HOOK
U-8.
Pintle Hook Installation

Six
holes
are provided in the frame
rear
cross mem­
bers of 'Jeep* Universals for the installation of
pintle hooks and safety chain eye bolts. On most vehicles, the pintle hook is attached using the top
four
holes
and the eye
bolts
are attached using the
lower two holes. On 'Jeep* Universals equipped
with
tail
gates,
the position of the hook and the eye must be changed to provide proper clearance.
On
these
vehicles, use the lower four
holes
for at­taching the pintle hook and the upper two
holes
for
attaching the safety chain eye bolts.
U-9.
Front
Bumper
Weight

The
best
performance of a four-wheel drive vehicle
is obtained when the load is equally distributed for
traction
on the front and
rear
wheels.
This
weight
distribution is disturbed when the vehicle is used
for drawbar work as the load on the
rear
wheels is increased and that on the front wheels decreased.
The
addition of a 265 pound front bumper weight
equalizes the load.
When
the load is equalized the front and
rear
axles
do approximately the same work which results in
prolonged life of
these
parts and considerably more
satisfactory performance.
The
bumper weight, Fig. U-3, is held in place by
four
bolts
and is provided with hand
holes
for lift­
ing.
Do not add sand
bags
or other
weights
in the vehicle. When driving over rough
terrain,
with the
weight in place, the driver should exercise due care.
