PRELIMINARY INFO
NOTICE
If toe alignment is incorrect, measure the distance
between vehicle center and each wheel. This will
indicate which tie rod needs adjusting.
IMPORTANT
Ensure the steering wheel is straight before
determining which tie rod needs adjustment.
Measurements should be equal.
CAUTION
If the rod end is positioned incorrectly it will not pivot,
and may break.
ADJUSTMENT
1. Hold tie rod end to keep it from rotating.
2. Loosen jam nuts at both end of the tie rod.
3. Adjust the tie rod as needed to achieve the proper toe
setting.
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.
4. After alignment is complete, torque jam nuts to
specification.
