How many shock absorbers do you need for a tag axle?
Axle requires four shock absorbers. Use regular chassis application on drive axle. Tag axle requires two additional shock absorbers. Tag axle systems (rear position only). Use OE application on drive axle. 12mm ID lower mount. 14mm ID lower mount. Contact chassis manufacturer with VIN number if unsure of exact chassis type.
Where is the steering linkage on a P chassis?
The steering linkage is located forward of the front cross member. The P Chassis linkage is illustrated below. Steering effort is transmitted to left- and right-hand adjustable tie rods through a relay rod. The relay rod is connected to an idler arm on the right and to the pitman arm on the left.
What should torque cap be on P chassis?
If it exceeds .003 inches in either assembly, adjust to within 0 to .003 inches. Set large lock nut torque cap to 25 ft. lbs. and then loosen 1/16 turn and tighten lock nut. If there is side play, replace the bushings.
What’s the proper way to Lube a rear axle?
Don’t forget to clean the rear axle housing too. Proper lube of ball joints means lifting the motorhome by a frame member so the suspension hangs free and then lube the zerks. Don’t forget to wipe the zerks clean before you lube. Otherwise, you will be pushing gritty dirt into the joint.
