0B-2 Maintenance and Lubrication:
5) Measure the distances (“A” and “B”) between the
front wheels. Subtract the measurement of “A” from
that of “B” to find the toe-out. If the toe-out is not
within specification, adjust the tie-rod to the right or
left until the toe-out is within the specified range.

If the toe-out is out of specification, bring it into the
specified range. Refer to “Toe Adjustment (LT-A750XP/
ZK9) (Page 0B-2)”.

Adjust the toe-out as follows:
1) Loosen the lock-nuts (1), (2) on each tie-rod.
CAUTION
!
• The lock-nuts (2) have left-hand threads.
• When loosening and tightening the lock-
nuts, hold the tie-rod end with a open end
wrench.
NOTE
Hold the concave part “a” of tie-rod with a
wrench.
2) Temporarily tighten the four lock-nuts.
3) Check that the distances “C” and “D” are equal, as
shown. If the distances are not equal, adjust the tie-
rod to the right or left until the toe-out is within
specification. Check the toe-out again by measuring
distances “A” and “B”.
4) If the toe-out is not within specification, repeat the
adjustment as above until the proper toe-out is
obtained and distances “C” and “D” become equal.
5) After adjustment has been made, tighten the four
lock-nuts to the specified torque.
