Each wheel hub consists of a hub flange pressed into a hub bearing.
The hub flange is splined to accept the constant velocity joint of the drive shaft, which is secured to the hub flange
with a stake nut. Five studs are installed in the hub flange for the wheel nuts and a threaded hole is provided for the
brake disc securing screw.
The outer race of the hub bearing is bolted to the steering knuckle. The hub bearing is a sealed unit which contains
twin opposed roller bearings, pre-packed with grease during manufacture. A toothed ABS sensor ring is integrated
into the inner race of the hub bearing. An opening in the outer race of the hub bearing accommodates the ABS sensor.
Drive shaft
Each drive shaft consists of a solid rod, splined at both ends, with a constant velocity joint installed on the outboard
end. A shield is incorporated onto each rod to protect the oil seals in the axle casing. The constant velocity joint is of
the ball and socket type. A shaft on the constant velocity joint is splined to the hub flange. The constant velocity joint
is pre-packed with grease and protected by a gaiter. Two securing bands retain the gaiter in position.

5.Adjust drag link so that taper joint is centralised
in drop arm, then tighten drag link clamp bolts:
Tighten M8 bolts to 22 Nm (16 lbf.ft) and M10
bolts to 33 Nm (24 lbf.ft).
6.Connect drag link to drop arm and tighten nut to
80 Nm (59 lbf.ft).
7.Remove steering box centralising bolt.

9.Road test the vehicle and check that the
steering wheel is centralised. If steering wheel
is not centralised, proceed as follows.
10.Slacken drag link adjuster clamp bolts.
11.Without disconnecting drag link from drop arm,
adjust the length of the drag link to bring the
steering wheel to the central position.
CAUTION: Repositioning the steering wheel
on its splines cannot correct small (less
than 5°) errors in steering wheel alignment.
Always rectify small errors in alignment by
adjusting the drag link as detailed above,
ensuring that steering box centralisation is
maintained.

fittings are clear of engine rotating parts.18.Hang pressure gauge in a safe position under
bonnet.
19. LHD only: Fit turbocharger intercooler feed
pipe and vacuum connection and fit PAS
reservoir to mounting bracket. Fit air intake
hose to turbocharger and air cleaner and
connect multiplug to MAF sensor. The above
parts must be refitted in order to run the
engine.
20.Fill PAS reservoir, connect battery earth lead.
Start engine and allow air to bleed from PAS
system, by turning steering from lock to lock.
Stop engine and check PAS fluid level.
21.Ensure steering system is free from leaks and
maintain maximum fluid level during test.
22.Open the test valve on LRT-57-001 and start
the engine.
23.With the engine at idle and normal running
temperature, slowly turn the steering wheel and
hold on lock.
24.Note reading on pressure gauge.
25.Repeat pressure check on opposite lock, again
noting the reading on the pressure gauge.
26.The test pressure should be between 21 and 62
bar, (300 to 900 lbf/in
2. Pressure will rise to 62
bar (900 lbf/in2) when held on full lock.
27.With the engine at idle, centralise the steering
wheel. Pressure should read 7 bar (100 lbf/in
2)
or below.
28.Pressure outside the above tolerance indicates
a fault.
29.To determine if fault is in steering pump or
steering rack, close the valve on LRT-57-001
for a maximum of five seconds. Pump damage
may occur if test valve is closed for longer
periods.
30.If the gauge does not register between 75 and
103 bar, (1500 lbf/in
2) (maximum pump
pressure), the pump is faulty.
31.If maximum pump pressure is obtained,
suspect the steering box.
