This SAE Recommended Practice provides a means for evaluating the drivetrain of the passenger car, van, or light-duty truck being towed under a variety of road conditions. The towing equipment used is explained in SAE J1142. NOTE—For the purpose of this document, the drivetrain refers to the combination of a specific transmission (make, model, size, type), a specific differential assembly (make, model, size, type), and a specific driveline, if required.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes the type of equipment commonly used with towing equipment, provides information to calculate safe steering loads, and outlines design criteria.

Almost all light trucks now are being manufactured with at least a driver side air bag and all will have dual air bags by 1998. The driving forces behind this feature are occupant safety, federal regulations, and competition in the industry. Along with the booming popularity of pickups and SUVs, they are commonly accessorized with a wide variety of products. Many accessories for four-wheel drives in particular are mounted on the front of the vehicle. These products include grille/brush guards, winches, snow plows, replacement bumpers, bicycle carriers, etc. Concerns have arisen over the compatibility of these accessories with the vehicle’s air bag system. The vehicle manufacturers are concerned because of their huge investment in design and crash test verification of the complete vehicle system and keen awareness of the federal regulations. The crushability of the front bumper and supporting structure are key elements in the system, so alterations to that area become logical concerns.

This SAE Recommended Practice applies to the function of building reciprocating spark-ignition engines which are used in conjunction with standard and high-performance ancillary components in applications intended to achieve a minimum of 1 hp/in3. This document does not apply to rebuilt engines which may only be partially repaired with little or no machining, nor does it apply to second-hand or used engines.

In order to insure that the remanufactured and/or rebuilt steering gear has and maintains the reliability and performance associated with a new OEM steering gear, it is essential that the following procedures be followed; if in-house engineering capabilities are limited, it may be necessary to consult with an outside laboratory to insure all testing methods used meet with the requirements outlined in this paper.

This SAE Recommended Practice defines the various types of information required by the collision repair industry to properly restore light-duty, highway vehicles to their pre-accident condition. Procedures and specifications are defined for damage-related repairs to body, mechanical, electrical, steering, suspension, and safety systems. The distribution method and publication timeliness are also considered.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides a systematic method for the identification of single diameter drills. It is intended to assist in the cataloging and supplying of these tools.

The scope of this SAE Recommended Practice is restricted to the testing of original equipment on passenger vehicles and to provide for a uniform industry test procedure.

This SAE Standard establishes a common specification and ordering code for hydraulic filter assemblies and hydraulic filter elements, and establishes minimum performance criteria and test methods. This document establishes two filter diameter sizes, five basic micron ratings, and two basic collapse ratings. These classifications will satisfy most hydraulic filter applications, and thereby can minimize inventory requirements for hydraulic filter elements.
