Adjusting Rear Wheel Toe–in
(Models 30627 & 30631 only)
The rear wheels should not toe–in or toe–out when they are
adjusted correctly. To check the rear wheel toe–in, measure
the center–to–center distance at wheel hub height, in front
and in back of the rear tires. If the wheels toe–in or toe–out,
an adjustment is required.
1. Rotate the steering wheel so rear wheels are straight
ahead.
2. Remove cotter pin and nut securing one tie rod ball
joint to mounting bracket on axle and disconnect ball
joint from axle (Fig. 63).
