Front Toe Adjustment
Measure toe-in at the following locations:
-
From the center of the tire treads or from the inboard side of the tires
-
At the front and the rear of the axle
-
At the horizontal axis of the wheel
When setting the toe-in adjustment, neutralize the front suspension. Ensure that all component parts are in the same relative position when making the
adjustment as they will be when in operation. In order to neutralize the suspension, roll the vehicle 3.5 - 4.5 meters (12 - 15 ft.). When the vehicle is
rolled forward, all normal tolerances in the suspension and the steering linkage are in the correct operating position. Neutralize the front suspension if the
vehicle has been raised.
1. Loosen the tie rod adjuster sleeve nuts.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.
2. Turn the tie rod until the wheels have the proper toe-in. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications.
3. Tighten the tie rod adjuster sleeve nuts.
