Relay lever and support

Relay lever and support

The steering idler arm is secured to the body by means of a support bracket and a rubber bushed pivot bolt. This is shown in FIG 9:7. When this unit is being serviced the following points should be noted.

1. If there is excessive play between the pin and the bushes the bushes must be renewed. Also check the condition of the pin and if there are signs of excessive wear it must be renewed.
2. To eliminate torsional stresses in the rubber bushes during assembly the pin nut must be tightened to torque wrench setting of 39 to 43 lb ft, once the front wheel toe-in has been correctly adjusted with the wheels set in the straight ahead position.
3. The relay lever support to body mounting nuts must be tightened to a torque wrench setting of 14 to 18 lb ft.
