OF BALL JOINTS AND DUST COVERS

Ball joints are lubricated for life during manufacture
and require no further lubrication unless the rubber
boot has been dislodged or damaged. All joints should
be checked at specified service intervals, but more
frequently if vehicle is used under arduous conditions.

1. Check for wear in joints by moving ball joint up

and down vigorously. If free movement is
apparent, fit a new joint assembly.

DRAIN AND CLEAN FUEL SEDIMENTER, IF
FITTED

The fuel sedimenter is located on a chassis side
member on the RH side of vehicle near rear wheel. It
increases the working life of the fuel filter by removing
larger droplets of water and other matter from fuel.

NOTE: On 110/130 models with a twin tank
fuel system, two sedimenters may be
fitted, one on each side of the vehicle

chassis.

1. Slacken drain plug and allow any water to drain

off.
