Toe is adjusted by loosening the tie rod locknuts or adjusting sleeve bolts and equally altering the length of the tie rods. After toe has been adjusted to
specifications, the lengths of the left and right tie rods, Figs. 5 through 7, should be nearly equal and close to the length specified. Incorrect tie rod
