Introduction and description<br />
Description<br />
The front non-drive axles Arvin<strong>Meritor</strong> have the<br />
following components: (Figure 1).<br />
• Tie bar, stub axle and king pin.<br />
The right side tie bar is the mirror image of<br />
the left side tie bar and converts the force of<br />
the tie bar into movement to turn the right side<br />
stub axle, wheel and tire around the king pin.<br />
The stub axle and king pin assembly is similar<br />
to the left side, except for the absence of the<br />
steering arm.<br />
• Stub axle<br />
Stub axles are evaluated in accordance with<br />
the front axle capacity. All models use straight<br />
stub axle pins. Three types of bushings are<br />
used: nylon, bronze and Easy Steer®.<br />
