Front wheel position YM1510D

[Jjpbe]

I have the right front wheel on my YM1510D that is pointing outwards a little ( see picture attached). The left one is normal. What could be the reason for it? Both front wheels have an oil leak aswell. I believe i need to change the seals on the front knuckles. Someone who has expierence with this. I am a bit reluctant to start this job. Thank you all for the advice.

If it's pointing out it either has a bent tie rod or just needs an alignment. Even if it is bent you probably can just realign it if it doesn't hit anything. If it does take it off and beat it back straight.

The oil leak probably has nothing to do with the alignment unless the bearings are gone.

The top of the tire leans out on the 1510D. It is built into it. If it is not leaning out your bearings are gone. Knuckle seals are not hard to change but be careful you don't have slack from worn bearings or bushings. Yanmar KNuckle Seal Replacement Instructions.

As Winston said, the leaning is normal.
Its being exaggerated because you have soft and taller turf tires on it.
Fix the leaks and you will be fine.

Is there then maybe a problem on the other wheel because there is almost no leaning on the other wheel?

 

[clemsonfor]

If it doesn't have the lean then bearings are shot in one of them. Jack it up and start trying to see if one or other has play

If no lean it has a problem.

Thank you for the info.
I jacked up both front wheels but none of them has a play on it.
I will try to fix the oil leak on the knuckles on both wheels first by adding Lucas oil power steering stop leak. How much Lucas oil is recommended to be added. Is there a maximum that can be added?
Thank you
