2. Place a chalk mark on center line of front tires
approximately 10” (25.4 cm) from the floor or as
close to the hub/axle center line as possible.
NOTE
It is important the height of both marks be equally
positioned to get an accurate measurement.
3. Measure the distance between the marks and record
the measurement. Call this measurement “A”.
4. Rotate the tires 180° by moving the vehicle forward.
Position chalk marks facing rearward, even with the
hub/axle center line.
5. Again measure the distance between the marks and
record.
Call this measurement “B”. Subtract
measurement “B” from measurement “A”. The
difference between measurements “A” and “B” is the
vehicle toe alignment. The recommended vehicle toe
tolerance is 1/8” to 1/4” (.3 to .6 cm) toe out. This
means the measurement at the front of the tire (A) is
1/8” to 1/4” (.3 to .6 cm) wider than the measurement
at the rear (B).
MEASUREMENT
Wheel Toe-Out:
(A) - (B) = 1/8 - 1/4" (.3 to .6 cm)
TOE ADJUSTMENT
If toe alignment is incorrect, adjust as follows.
WARNING
Do not attempt to compensate for worn or damaged
steering parts by adjusting the tie rod ends. The threads
of the tie rod must engage the tie rod end by a minimum
of 3/4 inch (19 mm). If either tie rod is bent or damaged,
replace the steering gear box.
1. Turn steering wheel to straight ahead position.
2. Measure distance from centerline of vehicle to
centerline of each tire. Adjust tie rod end on side with
greatest amount of toe-out or toe-in.
3. Hold tie rod end (C) securely and loosen jam nut (D).
DO NOT allow rod end to rotate to full stop or
damage could occur to the rod end.
4. Remove cotter pin (E) from tie rod end bolt.
