Axles, Wheels and Hubs ( Fig. 2-19) .
The front axle is made up of a housing, differential and carrier
(1)
assembly, axle shaft, and universal joint. Power is sent from the differential to
the wheels, through the axle shaft. Universal joints permit continuous delivery of
power to the wheels while the truck is turning right or left.
Both rear axles are made up of a housing, differential and carrier
(2)
assembly, and an axle shaft. Forward-rear and rear-rear axles are mounted one
behind the other. Torque rods send driving and braking forces to the frame.
There are two sets of torque rods on the right and one on the left. Power is sent
from the transfer to the front rear differential by a propeller shaft, and from the
forward-rear axle to the rear-rear axle differential by another propeller shaft.
Axle shafts send power from the differential to the wheels.
The wheels are offset disk-type, fastened by capnuts to ten studs on
(3)
the wheel hubs. They are equipped with snap-on type side rings for tire mounting.
Tire size is 11 x 20. The capnuts can be changed between hubs on the same side,
but not between hubs on opposite sides.
The wheel hubs are mounted on roller bearings. Each hub is fastened
(4)
to an axle with an inner bearing adjusting nut, bearing nut washer, and outer bear-
ing nut washer, and outer bearing adjusting nut. All hubs have inner seals and
