Fig. 1 Measuring Toe-in
Fig. 2 Rear Toe-in Adjustment.
On models with independent rear suspension, rear toe is the measurement of the rear wheels in relation to the vehicle centerline, Fig. 1. The leading
edge of each rear wheel should toe-in slightly toward the vehicle centerline to ensure proper vehicle tracking. Rear toe should be inspected using suitable
alignment gauges, following manufacturer's instructions. When checking or adjusting rear toe, always ensure the amount that the left and right wheels
toe-in is as equal as possible.
Rear toe-in is adjusted by varying the length of the rear parallel links, Fig. 2.
1.
Measure total toe-in and toe-in for each wheel following equipment manufacturer's instructions.
2.
Loosen locknuts and adjust parallel link length to obtain specified toe-in, noting the following:
a. Adjust left and right rear parallel links to the same length.
b. Standard length is 1.97-2.17 inches. If toe-in cannot be properly adjusted with links at equal lengths, check rear suspension for damage and
wear, and repair as needed.
3.
After adjustment, hold link with suitable wrench to prevent bushing from twisting, then torque locknuts to 58-72 ft. lbs.
