Ford Steering Knuckle & Wheel Bearings Exploded Diagram - Fig. 255 Parts Legend

This document is an exploded parts diagram labeled 'FIG. 255: STEERING KNUCKLE AND WHEEL BEARINGS,' apparently taken from a Ford shop or service manual (figure reference number 10554). The illustration shows the disassembled components of a front steering knuckle and wheel bearing assembly for a four-wheel-drive front axle, with each part identified by a callout number keyed to a 24-item legend. Components identified include the bearing adjusting nut, lockwashers, bearing cones and rollers, bearing caps and cups, the spindle, bushing, filler plug, the left knuckle and arm, adjustment shims, upper and lower bearing caps with their bolts and lockwashers, oil seal and backing ring, thrust washer, axle pilot, multiple oil seals, seal retainer, and retaining bolts. A reader can learn the correct order and relationship of parts when disassembling or reassembling the steering knuckle and front wheel bearings, including where the shims, seals, and thrust washer are positioned relative to the knuckle and spindle. No torque specifications, part numbers, model years, or written service procedures are included, only the exploded view and part-name legend.
