Concorde V6-3.2L VIN J (2000)
NOTE: Use an appropriate tool on neck area of outer tie rod to maintain the correct perpendicular orientation of the tie rod end stud within the tie
rod end.
3. After completion of toe adjustment procedure, tighten tie rod pinch bolt to a torque of 38 Nm (28 ft. lbs.).
4. Road test the vehicle after the initial wheel alignment has been performed. If vehicle still drifts or leads, repeat the front wheel alignment
procedure and adjust the camber to bias the cross camber setting opposite of the direction in which the vehicle has the tendency to lead. For
example, if the vehicle leads left, compensate by setting left front camber to 0.0° and right front camber up to +0.6°, allowing both sides to remain
within camber specifications. The cross camber is still at 0.6° which is within the allowed alignment specification.
Rear Toe Adjustment
1. Loosen lateral link, adjustment link jam nuts. Rotate adjustment links as required to set rear wheel Toe to specifications. Do not exceed the
maximum length dimensions of the lateral links shown in. Both dimensions must be checked to ensure they do not exceed maximums allowed.
CAUTION: When setting rear toe-in on vehicle, the maximum lengths of the adjustable lateral link at the locations shown in must not be
exceeded. If these maximum lengths are exceeded, inadequate retention of adjustment link to the inner and outer link may result. Ensure that the
adjustment sleeve jam nuts are torqued to the required specifications when the Toe setting procedure is completed.
2. Tighten lateral link, adjustment link lock-nuts to 88 Nm (65 ft. lbs.) torque.
3. Proceed to set the front wheel alignment. If front camber and caster readings are within required specifications, proceed to Front Wheel Toe
Adjustment. If not, refer to camber.
