1.3 DESCRIPTION OF WHEEL HUB UNIT
Wheel hub unit
The wheel hub (2), wheel bearings (4) and (5)
and oil seal (6) form a whole that is called the
wheel hub unit.
The thrust washer (3), on the inner side of two
straight surfaces, prevents the hub nut (1) from
coming loose if there are any problems with the
bearings. The hub nut (1) is of the self-locking
type. The nut is locked by bending the lips on the
hub nut (1) outward.
The bearings (4) and (5) of the wheel hub unit are
greased and are maintenance free.
The correct wheel bearing pre-load is achieved
by installing the hub nut (1) as specified.
It is not possible to replace wheel bearings (4)
and (5) and/or hub oil seal (6).

1.4 DESCRIPTION OF WHEEL SETTINGS
Caster
The caster (Z) is the angle of the axle housing to
the road surface. The caster is important for the
directional stability of the vehicle. Too little caster
will lead to "searching" behaviour by the vehicle,
while too much caster will result in "heavy"
steering.
A deviating caster will not result in tyre wear.
The caster is determined by the relation between
the road surface and the chassis, assuming that
the chassis is parallel with the road surface.
The caster can be very easily inspected and
adjusted and requires no complicated equipment.
If a vehicle has two steerable axles, this
inspection should be carried out on both axles.

Camber angle and king pin inclination
The camber angle (X) and the king pin inclination
(Y) are determined by the construction of the
swivel axle and the axle housing. In DAF
vehicles, neither setting can be adjusted.
Wheel alignment deviations can only be caused
by collisions and/or a bent front axle due to
overloading.
If a vehicle has a deviation in one of these wheel
alignments, the load of the tyre will be unevenly
distributed across the road surface. This will
result in irregular tyre wear.
Inspections of vehicles with one steerable axle
and vehicles with two steerable axles do not
differ. The inspection should be carried out on
each individual wheel.
Toe
Toe is the difference between distances A and B.
If distance A is smaller than B, this is called toe-
in. If, however, distance A exceeds distance B,
this is called toe-out.
Whether a vehicle should have toe-in or toe-out is
determined by the manufacturer of the vehicle.
Toe-in or toe-out is required to ensure that the
wheels have perfect rolling characteristics while
the vehicle is driving straight ahead.

Toe-in or toe-out deviations will cause "chafing"
of the tyres on the road surface. This will result in
irregular tyre wear.
The same irregular tyre wear is found in vehicles
with multiple steerable axles if the wheels are
"misaligned" while the vehicle is driving straight
ahead.
