TOE ADJUSTMENT
• Hold tie rod end to keep it from rotating.
• Loosen jam nuts at both ends of the tie rod.
• Shorten or lengthen the tie rod until alignment is as required to
achieve the proper toe setting as specified in 3~6mm (1/8~1/4”).
IMPORTANT: When tightening the tie rod end jam
nuts, the rod ends must be held parallel to prevent rod
end damage and premature wear. Damage may not be
immediately apparent if done incorrectly.
• After alignment is complete, torque jam nuts to specification.
During tie rod adjustment, it is very important that
the following precautions be taken when tightening
tie rod end jam nuts.
If the rod end is positioned incorrectly it will not
pivot, and may break

Front Suspension Spring Preload
Adjustment
The front and rear shock absorber springs are adjustable by
rotating the adjustment cam to change spring tension preload.
Uneven adjustment may cause poor handling of
the vehicle, which could result in an accident and
serious injury or death. Always adjust both the left
and right spring preloads equally.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Raise and safely support the front or rear of the vehicle off
the ground to allow the suspension to fully extend.
NOTE: The tires should not be touching the ground.
4. To adjust the suspension, use the adjustment cam located
near the bottom of the shock.
5. Rotate the adjustment cam clockwise to increase spring
tension or counter-clockwise to decrease spring tension.
6. Each notch of the adjustment will add 6% - 8% more
preload to the spring over the primary position.
