ISSUE:
Excessive wear on the inboard edges of the rear tires on 1986 and 1987 Taurus/Sable station wagons may be caused by camber and rear toe
settings that are not within specification.
ACTION:
To correct this, reset the camber and rear toe to specification. If the camber cannot be set to specification, install a new adjustable camber
kit using the following service procedure. Refer to the chart that follows for rear alignment specifications.

1.
Inspect rear suspension for damage. Replace any damaged components before continuing to Step 2.
2.
Measure and record vehicle rear wheel alignment settings for left hand camber, right hand camber, left hand toe, and right hand toe.
-
If vehicle is in specification for camber but out-of-specification for toe, reset toe to nominal specification of +0.06~ toe-in for each individual
wheel.
-
If both camber and toe are within specification, reset toe to nominal specification of +0.06~ toe-in for each individual wheel.
