Alignment: Description and Operation
Wheel Toe Adjustment
GENERAL INFORMATION
Proper vehicle wheel alignment is the proper adjustment of all interrelated front and rear suspension angles. These angles are what affects the
handling and steering of the vehicle when it is in motion.
The method of checking a vehicle's front and rear wheel alignment will vary depending on the type and manufacturer of the equipment being used.
Instructions furnished by the manufacturer of the equipment being used should always be followed to ensure accuracy of the alignment, except
alignment specifications recommended by Chrysler Corporation MUST ALWAYS be used.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to modify any suspension or steering components by heating or bending of the component.
Wheel alignment adjustments should be made in the following sequence, to ensure that an accurate alignment is performed.
1. Rear Wheel Toe Adjustment within specifications for both total toe and thrust angle.
2. Front Wheel Toe Adjustment within specifications for total toe.
3. Toe is measured in degrees or inches and is the distance that the front edges of the tires are closer (or farther apart) than the rear edges. See
Front Wheel Drive Specifications for correct front and rear wheel Toe specifications.
4. Thrust Angle is defined as the average of the Toe settings on each rear wheel. If this measurement is out of specification, re-adjust rear wheel
Toe so that each wheel has 1/2 of the total Toe measurement. When re-adjusting, do not exceed the total Toe specification.
