Alignment: Service and Repair
Toe-In
Front Wheel
Fig. 1 Measuring Toe-in
The toe setting is the measurement of the wheels in relation to the vehicle centerline, Fig. 1. The leading edge of each wheel should toe-in or
toe-out slightly in relation to the vehicle centerline to ensure proper vehicle tracking. Toe should be inspected using suitable alignment gauges,
following manufacturer's instructions. When checking or adjusting toe, always ensure the setting of the left and right wheels is as equal as possible.
Fig. 5 Tie Rod Length Measurement
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, Fig. 2, should be nearly equal. If tie rod lengths are incorrect, tie rods should be
disassembled and adjusted to equal lengths, and the toe setting should be readjusted before checking steering angles. Incorrect tie rod length will
adversely affect steering angles and toe-out on turns.
