torque when adjustment is complete. Figure 16.
Figure 16
CAUTION: Tighten the jam nut to the recommended
torque specification. Overtightening the nut might
damage the rod end.
NOTE: Once adjustment of the angle of attack on rear

BASIC TUNING
(Rear Track Systems):
• The adjustment is
incorrect
when the
stabilizing arm’s rubber cone is compressed
and deformed. The stabilizing arm’s spring is
then difficult or impossible to turn by hand.
TRACK SYSTEM REMOVAL
CAUTION: Leaving the anti-rotation anchor
brackets attached to the suspension arms, after
having removed the Track Systems, could cause
interference which might damage the vehicle.
Remove all Track System anti-rotation mechanism
components installed on the vehicle before
reinstalling the wheels.
