Alignment: Service and Repair

Front Wheel Alignment

CHECKING TOE-OUT DIMENSIONS

NOTE:

-

No adjustment is provided for castor, camber or swivel pin inclinations.

-

Check with vehicle in static unladen condition, that is, vehicle with water, oil and five gallons of fuel. Rock the vehicle up and down at the front to
allow it to take up a static position.

Wheel Alignment

1. Set the vehicle on level ground with the road wheels in the straight-ahead position.
2. Push the vehicle back then forwards for a short distance to settle the linkage.
3. Measure the toe-out at the horizontal center-line of the wheels.
4. Check the tightness of the clamp bolt fasteners for the correct torque of 14 Nm (10 ft lb).

ADJUSTING

Adjuster Sleeves

6. Loosen the adjuster sleeve clamp.
7. Rotate the adjuster to lengthen or shorten the track rod.
8. Check the toe-out setting as in instructions 1 to 4. When the toe-out is correct lightly tap the steering linkage ball joint, in the directions illustrated

to the maximum of their travel to ensure full unrestricted working travel.

9. Finally, tighten the clamp bolts to 14 Nm (10 ft lb).
