TOE ALIGNMENT
Use the following procedure to check the toe alignment of the vehicle. The
recommended toe alignment is 1/8” to 1/4” (3-6 mm) toe out.
WARNING
Severe injury or death can result from improper toe alignment and adjustment.
Do not attempt to adjust tie rod alignment. All tie rod adjustments should be
performed by an authorized HAMMERHEAD dealer or other qualified service
facility.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Set the steering wheel in a straight-ahead
position and secure them in this position.
3. Place a chalk mark on the center line
q
of the
front tires as close to the hub/axle center line
as possible. Make sure both marks are the
same distance from the floor.
4. Measure the distance between the marks and
record the measurement.
5. Move the vehicle to rotate the tires 180°.
Position the wheels with the chalk marks at the
rear of the tires, even with the hub/axle center
line.
6. Measure the distance between the marks and
record the measurement.
7. Subtract the second measurement from the
first measurement. The difference is the
vehicle toe-out alignment.
8. If you discover improper alignment, your
HAMMERHEAD dealer or other qualified
person can assist.
