API QUALITY CLASSIFICATION
This symbol (Fig. 2) on the front of an oil container
means that the oil has been certified by the Ameri-
can Petroleum Institute (API) to meet all the lubri-
cation requirements specified by DaimlerChrysler
Corporation.
GEAR LUBRICANTS
SAE ratings also apply to multigrade gear lubri-
cants. In addition, API classification defines the
lubricants usage. Such as API GL-5 and SAE 75W-
90.
LUBRICANTS AND GREASES
Lubricating grease is rated for quality and usage
by the NLGI. All approved products have the NLGI
symbol (Fig. 3) on the label. At the bottom NLGI
symbol is the usage and quality identification letters.
Wheel bearing lubricant is identified by the letter
ªGº. Chassis lubricant is identified by the latter ªLº.
The letter following the usage letter indicates the
quality of the lubricant. The following symbols indi-
cate the highest quality.
SPECIALIZED LUBRICANTS AND OILS
Some maintenance or repair procedures may
require the use of specialized lubricants or oils. Con-
sult the appropriate sections in this manual for the
correct application of these lubricants.
DESCRIPTION - AXLE
A multi-purpose, hypoid gear lubricant which con-
forms to MIL-L-2105C and API GL 5 quality specifi-
cations should be used. Mopar Hypoid Gear
Lubricants conforms to these specifications.
FRONT AXLE
²Lubricant for 186FIA (Model 30) axle is SAE
75W-140 SYNTHETIC.
REAR AXLE
²Lubricant for 198RBI (Model 35) axle is SAE
75W-140 SYNTHETIC.
²Lubricant for 8 1/4 axle is a thermally stable
SAE 75W-90. For trailer tow or heavy duty applica-
tions the lubricant should be replaced with SAE
75W-140 SYNTHETIC.
NOTE: Trac-lokTequipped axles require a friction
modifier be added to the lubricant.
CAUTION: If axle is submerged in water, lubricant
must be replaced immediately to avoid possible
premature axle failure.
DESCRIPTION - MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Mopartmanual transmission fluid is the lubricant
recommended for the NV1500 and the NV3550 trans-
missions.
DESCRIPTION - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID
NOTE: Refer to the maintenance schedules in this
group for the recommended maintenance (fluid/filter
change) intervals for this transmission.
NOTE: Refer to Service Procedures in this group for
fluid level checking procedures.
MopartATF +4, type 9602, Automatic Transmis-
sion Fluid is the recommended fluid for
DaimlerChrysler automatic transmissions.
Dexron II fluid IS NOT recommended. Clutch
chatter can result from the use of improper
fluid.
MopartATF +4, type 9602, Automatic Transmis-
sion Fluid when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed
red so it can be identified from other fluids used in
the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red
color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid
condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin
to look darker in color and may eventually become
brown.This is normal.ATF+4 also has a unique

DESCRIPTION
The front suspension is designed to allow each
wheel to adapt to different road surfaces indepen-
dently. The wheels are mounted to hub bearings on
the steering knuckle spindles. The double-row hub
bearings are sealed and lubricated for life. The steer-
ing knuckles turn (pivot) on ball joints riveted to the
outboard portion of the control arms. The ball joints
are lubricated for life. (Fig. 1)
WARNING
WARNING:: Suspension components with rubber
bushings must be tightened with the vehicle at nor-
mal ride height. It is important to have the springs
supporting the weight of the vehicle when the fas-
teners are torqued. If springs are not at their normal
ride position, vehicle ride comfort will be affected
and cause premature bushing wear.

LOWER BALL JOINT
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - LOWER BALL
JOINT
(1) Raise the vehicle on a drive-on hoist.
NOTE: If a drive-on hoist is not available, use
wooden blocks with jack stands to support the
lower control arm in the ball joint area. Place the
jack stands appropriately and lower the hoist plac-
ing weight on the lower control arm. The lower con-
trol arms should now be supporting the vehicle
weight.
(2) With the use of jack stands, lift the front end
off the hoist and position wooden blocks underneath
both lower control arms supporting the vehicles
weight.
(3) Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
(4) Attach a dial indicator to the base of the lower
control arm and align the dial indicator's contact
point with the direction of the stud axis, touch the
machined flat on the knuckle and zero the dial indi-
cator. (Fig. 2)
NOTE: Use care when applying the load to the
knuckle, so the parts are not damaged using care
not to tear the boot.
(5) From the front of the vehicle, insert a pry bar
to get it rested on the lower control arm and use
lever principle to push the knuckle up until the arm
of the dial indicator no longer moves.(6) Record the ball joint movement on each side of
the vehicle. The end play is acceptable with no more
than 1.5mm of end play back to back.LOWER CONTROL ARM

(10) Start the engine and re-check for vibration. If
there is little or no change in vibration, move the
clamp to one of the other three positions. Repeat the
vibration test.
(11) If there is no difference in vibration at the
other positions, the source of the vibration may not
be propeller shaft.
(12) If the vibration decreased, install a second
clamp (Fig. 2) and repeat the test.
(13) If the additional clamp causes an additional
vibration, separate the clamps (1/4 inch above and
below the mark). Repeat the vibration test (Fig. 3).
(14) Increase distance between the clamp screws
and repeat the test until the amount of vibration is
at the lowest level. Bend the slack end of the clamps
so the screws will not loosen.
(15) If the vibration remains unacceptable, apply
the same steps to the front end of the propeller shaft.
(16) Install the wheel and tires. Lower the vehicle.RUNOUT
(1) Remove dirt, rust, paint and undercoating from
the propeller shaft surface where the dial indicator
will contact the shaft.
(2) The dial indicator must be installed perpendic-
ular to the shaft surface.
(3) Measure runout at the center and ends of the
shaft sufficiently far away from weld areas to ensure
that the effects of the weld process will not enter into
the measurements.
(4) Refer to Runout Specifications chart.
(5) If the propeller shaft runout is out of specifica-
tion, remove the propeller shaft, index the shaft 180É,
and re-install the propeller shaft. Measure shaft
runout again.
(6) If the propeller shaft runout is now within
specifications, mark the shaft and yokes for proper
orientation.
(7) If the propeller shaft runout is not within spec-
ifications, verify that the runout of the transmission/
transfer case and axle are within specifications.
Correct as necessary and re-measure propeller shaft
runout.
(8) Replace the propeller shaft if the runout still
exceeds the limits.
RUNOUT SPECIFICATIONS
Front of Shaft 0.020 in. (0.50 mm)
Center of Shaft 0.025 in. (0.63 mm)
Rear of Shaft 0.020 in. (0.50 mm)
note:
Measure front/rear runout approximately 3 inches (76
mm) from the weld seam at each end of the shaft
tube for tube lengths over 30 inches. For tube lengths
under 30 inches, the maximum allowed runout is
0.020 in. (0.50 mm) for the full length of the tube.
STANDARD PROCEDURES - PROPELLER
SHAFT ANGLE
The procedure applies to both the front propeller
shafts and the rear propeller shaft. To obtain the
front (output) angle on the C/V front propeller shaft,
the inclinometer is placed on the machined ring of
the pinion flange. To obtain the propeller shaft angle
measurement on the C/V front propeller shaft, the
inclinometer is placed on the propeller shaft tube.
(1) Raise and support the vehicle at the axles as
level as possible. Allow the wheels and propeller
shaft to turn.
(2) Remove any external bearing snap rings from
universal joint if equipped, so the inclinometer base
will sits flat.

(1) Apply a light coat of wheel bearing grease on
the female splines of the inner C/V joint.(2) Install half shaft on the axle shaft spline and
push firmly to engage the snap ring. Pull on the half
shaft to verify snap has engaged.
