After adjustment is made tighten the lower control arm nuts to proper torque specification.
TOE ADJUSTMENT
The wheel toe position adjustment is the final adjustment.
1. Start the engine and turn wheels both ways before straightening the wheels. Secure the steering wheel with the front wheels in the straight-ahead
position.
2. Loosen the tie rod jam nuts (1).
NOTE: Each front wheel should be adjusted for one-half of the total toe position specification. This will ensure the steering wheel will be
centered when the wheels are positioned straight-ahead.
3. Adjust the wheel toe position by turning the inner tie rod (2) as necessary.
4. Tighten the tie rod jam nut (1) to 127 Nm (94 ft. lbs.).
NOTE: Make sure the toe setting does not change during tightening.
5. Verify the specifications
6. Turn off engine.
Alignment - Recirculating Ball Steering System
ALIGNMENT - RECIRCULATING BALL STEERING SYSTEM
NOTE: For 4500/5500 only, if an alignment is being performed WITHOUT having replaced the LH tie rod end, the Tie Rod Ball Stud
Housing Misalignment Check 4500/5500 procedure must be preformed as the first step. The Tie Rod Ball Stud Housing Misalignment
Check 4500/5500 procedure will determine if the LH tie rod end needs to be serviced due to excessive internal stress during turns.
Before each alignment reading the vehicle should be jounced (rear first, then front). Grasp each bumper at the center and jounce the vehicle up and down
several times. Always release the bumper in the down position. Set the front end alignment to specifications while the vehicle is in its NORMALLY
LOADED CONDITION.
