Aerostar 2WD V6-3.0L VIN U (1997)
^
Steering axis inclination (included angle) is the line to the axle drawn through the spindle ball joint when viewed from the front.
^
Included angle is a function of the spindle itself and does not change with changes in ride height or frame angles.
^
Scrub radius is the offset of the center of the tire tread at the ground to the point where the steering axis contacts the ground.
TOE
Toe-in and toe-out refer to the difference in the distance between the extreme front and extreme rear of the tires.
^
Toe-in (positive toe) occurs when the dimension taken at the front of the tires is less than that taken at the rear of the tires.
^
Toe-out (negative toe) occurs when the dimension taken at the front of the tires is greater than that taken at the rear of the tires.
^
If aftermarket equipment that significantly affects the ride height (such as snowplow, second unit bodies or tool boxes) is added, the toe might
need to be adjusted. Toe should be maintained at the specified setting with the vehicle in the loaded condition experienced for more than 50
percent of use.
^
Toe should only be checked and adjusted after the caster and camber have been adjusted to specification. Refer to Front Wheel Alignment
Specifications.
