1. Put a mark on each side of the locking clamp on the tie
rod.
2. Loosen the locking nuts on each end of the tie rod and
then the four bolts on the tie rod locking clamp.
3. Turn the tie rod whichever direction is needed until you
have a front measurement of 1/32” to 1/16” less than the
back measurement.
4. Hold the tie rod and tighten the locknuts on each end.
5. Measure again to make sure the toe-in measurement
has not moved.
6. Tighten the locking clamp bolts while holding clamp
between the marks you previously put on the tie rod.
7. Reassemble the rest of the Kar Kaddy unit.

position with the ball
coupler 18” off the ground. Jack up the axle just enough to
allow you to take the wheels off and put blocks under the axle.
Take the wheels off.
Find two 24” long bars, these could be a level, a square
or a straight piece of iron bar. Clamp one bar tight to the
face of each hub with 12” extending forward and backward
of the center of the spindle. The bars must be parallel to the
platform the car sits on. Measure across the back end of the
bars and then across the front end. The front measurement
should be 1/32” to 1/16” less than the back measurement. If
the unit needs to be adjusted, this must be done by adjusting
the tie rod.
