Title: Adjust the steering (wheel) stops.
Course: Diesel Equipment Technology II (20107-II) > Section: Suspension and Steering: Servicing the Steering Linkage

Adjustment should include limiting stops on the front axle to stop the tire from rubbing on the frame.

This must occur after the steering gear pressure relief poppets have relieved pressure. The risk exists of having hydraulic pressure from the steering system acting against the steering levers when they cannot move, resulting in broken and bent steering parts.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the minimum space normally set between the tire and any fixed chassis component?
