Ingalls 60000 - Manual

Move the spindle up and down to help in the
installation of the adjustable kingpin
Installation Instructions
1. Suspend front of vehicle and remove tire/wheel assembly.
2. Remove lower kingpin bearing cap bolts and bearing cap by
lightly tapping side to side and gently prying bearing cap.
3. Install the eccentric stud only in place of the removed lower
kingpin. Make sure that the lower kingpin bearing is centered
in the hole of the spindle housing. A jack underneath the
spindle/hub assembly may be helpful in aligning the lower
kingpin bearing.
4. Install the base plate over the eccentric stud already in
place with the raised collar of the base plate fitting up into the
spindle housing. Move spindle/hub assembly to aid installa-
tion if necessary. If solid resistance occurs, check to see that
the eccentric stud is fully inserted by tapping upward on
the hex of the stud. It may be necessary to loosen (Do Not
Remove) the four upper king pin bolts.
NOTE:Base plate should fit flat against spindle housing.
DO NOT use bolts to pull plate into place.
5.
Install the four lower bearing cap bolts and torque in an even
pattern to 70-90 ft. lbs.
6. Use a 5/8" socket or a wrench to rotate the hex on the
eccentric until the desired camber correction is obtained.
7. Install the lock nut, lock washer and torque to 60-70 ft lbs.
8. Install self tapping grease fitting in bottom of eccentric stud
and grease if necessary.
NOTE: Some alignment equipment may indicate a caster
change, when in fact, wheelbase is being changed. For caster
change use leaf spring wedges.
9.
Check toe and reset if necessary, reinstall tire/wheel
assembly and road test vehicle.
Tech Tips: Prior to removing the O.E. lower kingpin, clean the surface area of
the 4X4 knuckle to be sure that no dirt or grit gets into the assembly when you
install the adjustable kingpin. The use of a floor jack enables the weight on the
knuckle assembly to be maintained and allows the wheel to be moved in a
controllable manner to allow correct seating of the kingpin. It is not necessary
to force or draw the adjustable camber kingpin into place if you maintain the
weight of the tire/wheel knuckle assembly with a jack while correctly seating the
kingpin. Do Not draw the kingpin cap into place with the bolts. The cap MUST
be correctly seated prior to tightening the bolts.
