STEERING STOP ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
The steering stop adjustment must be performed after adjustment of
short tie rod and long tie rod.
a. Turn towbar fully to streetside. If towbar contacts the frame or the tie rod
contacts suspension torsion bar, adjust steering stop as follows:
b. Measure gap between end of stop bolt (1) and contact point on axle.
c. With towbar centered, loosen hex jam nut (2) on steering stop bolt (1).
Rotate steering stop bolt (1) counterclockwise one turn for every 1/16-inch
gap, plus one turn.
d. Move towbar again to streetside. Verify a gap of 1/16 inch between tie rod
and torsion bar and a gap of at least 1/4 inch between towbar and frame.
Readjust as required.
e. Tighten jam nut (2), ensuring that stop bolt (1) does not rotate. Reverify
gap measurements.
f. Repeat this procedure for the curbside.
