MATERIAL
This Maintenance Information pertains to Kit IS18091 which includes the following parts:
| Part No. | Description | Qty |
| 610052 | TIE ROD ASSY | 1 |
| 610051 | NUT HEX SELF LOCKING M24-1.5 (Single use) | 2 |
MAINTENANCE INSPECTION PROCEDURES
| MAINTENANCE |
| Inspect tie rod once a year. |
| DANGER |
| Park vehicle safely, apply parking brake, stop engine. Prior to working on the vehicle, set the ignition switch to the OFF position and trip the main circuit breakers equipped with a trip button. On Commuter type vehicles, set the battery master switch (master cut-out) to the OFF position. |
COMPONENT OVERVIEW
The tie rod features a fine adjustment piece on one side and a standard joint on the other side.
The steering tie rod requires several visual and functional verifications. If any of the conditions are found, a complete replacement of the tie rod assembly or individual parts may be required.
For additional details, refer to supplier information:
TRW_Front_Axle_Steering_Bar_Service_Information_XSZ143 available on the Prevost Technical publications website.
TUBE INSPECTION
Check the tube for damage. If there are signs of deformation, replace the tie rod assembly.
BALL JOINT INSPECTION
To inspect joint wear and play, turn the wheels alternately left and right until the wheels move. Perform this with the axle loaded normally. Replace the joint if the movement of the ball stud exceeds 0.5mm axially in the housing.
Measure the distance with a caliper (Figure 4).
FINE ADJUSTMENT SLEEVE INSPECTION
Turn the wheels alternately left and right while keeping a finger on the threads to feel any movement in the threads
(Figure 5).
If there is too much play in the sleeve, replace the tie rod.
BALL JOINT INSPECTION FOR CORROSION
| MAINTENANCE |
| Inspect tie rod ball joints for corrosion once a year. |
- Carefully clean the sealing boot contact area to ensure that no contaminants can get under the sealing bellows during the inspection procedure. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents, only use dry cloth or cotton wool.
- Housing: The housing must not show any signs of deep rusting (depth of no more than approx. 1mm). Pay particular attention to the roll edge and cover, they must be rust free. Clean corrosion on the axle steering lever contact faces also.
- Bellows: They must be in perfect condition to protect from corrosion. Squeeze the bellows by hand and make sure no grease is expelled from the opening. Make sure the bellows is in good condition, without any holes, tears, scratches of chafing marks. Replace the joint if inspection result is not OK.
Tension rings and clamping rings must be well seated in their groove.
It must always be possible to turn the bellows on the housing by hand (do not use any tools). Hold the bellows in the area of the clamping ring and turn with a lot of manual force. Replace the tie rod if the result is not OK.
TOE IN ADJUSTMENT
Refer to the maintenance manual for your particular vehicle in Section 14-Steering under “Front Wheel Toe-in”.
- If the toe-in measurement is not within the manual’s specified tolerance, carry out the following procedure :
- Loosen the pinch bolt on the right hand (curb side) tie rod end where the adjuster sleeve is located.
- Turn the adjuster sleeve (Figure 7) until the specified toe-in measurement is obtained.
- Tighten the pinch bolt nuts
