The manual says "To increase caster, place the thick side of the shim toward
the back ... To decrease the caster, place the thick side of the shim toward
the front." I agree with whoever it was that said put the thin side toward
the front--at least that's how it is on my 50 1 ton.

Subject: [oletrucks] Front End Question
On the 50 3100 I am trying to install the front end assembly on the frame.
Stupid question... the kingpin locking bolt has a piece of angle iron bolted
to it used as a stop for the steering... does the steering stop piece go
toward the front of the vehicle or the back? I loaned my shop manual to the
guy overhauling the rear end and I dont have it. I dont want to install the
axle backwards and there isnt any other way I know of to make sure I am
doing it right.
