1. The document provides instructions for checking clearances in various components, including steering joint bearings, frame joint bearings, steering cylinder bearings, and load body rubber cushions. 2. Clearances should be checked using a dial indicator, with the magnetic base placed in different locations depending on the specific component being checked. 3. No clearance is allowed for most components, while load body rubber cushions should have 10±2 mm of clearance. Replace or adjust components if clearances are outside specified ranges.
