When repairing, the front axle beam must be checked for bending and twisting on a device (Fig. 1), which is installed on the spring platform
The device prism is guided by a lock installed in the holes for the kingpin and secured with an expansion collet
Bending and twisting, as well as the angle of inclination of the hole for the kingpin, are determined using scales. to check the opposite side of the beam, the device is reinstalled.
The beam is straightened in a cold state under a hydraulic press.
After straightening, the angle of inclination of the axis of the hole for the kingpin to the vertical axis should be within 7°45' - 8° 15'.
The non-perpendicularity of the hole for the kingpin relative to the spring pads should not exceed 0.5 mm.
Non-perpendicularity The allowable deviation of the beam boss ends relative to the kingpin holes is no more than 0.2 mm.
If the beam is bent beyond repair, it should be replaced.
If the front axle parts are worn beyond the permissible dimensions, the worn parts should be replaced.
Cracks on the surface of the front axle parts are not allowed.
If the steering knuckle eye under the front axle beam is worn beyond the permissible size of 68.06 mm, it is recommended to treat the worn surfaces and install compensating washers during assembly.
If the eye is worn more than 68.5 mm, the steering knuckle should be replaced.
Damage to the steering knuckle threads by more than two threads is not allowed.
It is recommended to press out worn steering knuckle bushings and replace them with new ones. The pressing force for the bushings should be at least 10,000 H.
Steering knuckles with worn journals for bearings should be replaced.
The main dimensions of the front axle parts are given in the table.
