Town Car V8-4.6L VIN W (1997)
Sleeve Position
3. When toe and the steering wheel spoke position are both correct, lubricate front wheel spindle tie rod adjusting sleeves, bolts and nuts. Tighten the
clamp bolts on front wheel spindle tie rod adjusting sleeves to 27-30 Nm (20-22 ft. lbs.). The sleeve position should not be changed when the
clamp bolts are tightened for proper clamp bolt orientation.
Wheel Turning Angle
When the inside wheel is turned 20 degrees, the turning angle of the outside wheel should be as specified. The turning angle cannot be adjusted directly.
It is a result of the combination of caster, camber and toe adjustments and should be measured only after these adjustments have been made. If the
turning angle does not measure to specification, check the suspension, frame or steering parts for a bent condition.
The front suspension is fully adjustable for caster, camber and toe. After front wheel alignment factors have been checked, make the necessary
adjustments. Do not attempt to adjust front wheel alignment by bending the suspension or steering parts.
