If wheels are removed (axle supported by blocks), use a hydraulic jack or pry bar to push steering knuckle up until bot-
tom of steering knuckle is tight against bottom of axle. Measure gap as in step 1.
3.
Vertical end play may also be measured by checking maximum vertical movement of knuckle with a dial indicator.
4.
Record measurement.

If end play is 0.013 in. (0.33 mm) or less, no adjustment is necessary.
6.
If vertical end play exceeds 0.013 in. (0.33 mm), go to step 9.
