(1) Tighten until the split pin fits (max. 60

). It is not allowed to fit a self-locking nut instead of a castle nut. 

(2) Check the ball end thread for damage before fitting a new self-locking nut.

To do so, hand-tighten a non-self-locking nut on the ball joint to be checked.

If the new nut cannot be fully hand-screwed onto the entire thread, the ball end must be replaced.

Fit new self-locking nut. Apply Loctite 243 to the nut.

(3) Fit new self-locking nut. 

Fitting a new self-locking nut to a 

ball end with a damaged thread may 

lead to dangerous situations.

Toe
The toe is shown in a graph.

Note:

The graphs are constructed so that at 75% of the 

permissible loading weight, the toe has a value of 

0.5 

≥ 1 mm/m toe-in. The axle load is made up of 

the unladen axle weight + loading weight.

Graph explanation
1.

At the top of the graph, the axle type is 

shown with axle configuration (1).

2.

With some axles, a distinction is made 

between the disc brake version and the drum 

brake version. To this end there is an 

illustration (2) of a disc brake or a drum brake 

at the top of the graph.

3.

On the left-hand side of the graph, the toe is 

shown in mm/m. The values above the 0 line 

show toe-in values, indicated by symbol (3).

The values under the 0 line show toe-out 

values, indicated by symbol (4). The toe-out 

values are indicated by negative values.

4.

At the bottom of the graph, the axle load (5) 

is shown.

5.

The permitted toe at any axle load can be 

read from the shaded area (6) in the graph.

6.

If the value measured lies outside the 

shaded area, the toe must be adjusted to the 

value indicated by the uninterrupted line (7).
