STEERING AND FRONT SUSPENSION Front Suspension
7
Wheel alignment consists of adjusting the toe-in or toe-out and camber of the front wheels. See Toe-in Measurement
– for vehicles equipped with steering damper accessory on page 7-15. See Toe-Out Measurement on page
7-15. Also see Camber Measurement on page 7-16.
Always adjust the toe first, and then adjust the camber. See
following NOTE.
NOTE: Before any front suspension adjustments are made, inspect components for wear or damage and repair or
replace as necessary.
Toe-Out Measurement
1. On a level surface, roll the vehicle forward, then stop. Make sure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: Do not turn the steering wheel again during this procedure.
2. Mark each front tire at the center of the tread face that is facing the rear of the vehicle. The marks should be at
the same height as the center of each hub. Measure the distance between the marks.
3. Roll the vehicle forward one-half wheel revolution until the marks appear on the forward facing surfaces of the
tires at the same height as the center of each hub. Measure the distance between the marks
(Figure 7-27, Page
7-15) . See following NOTE.
NOTE: The front measurement must be greater than the rear measurement.

4. Subtract the rear face tire measurement from the front face tire measurement. Proper toe-out is 3/16 to 1/4 inch
(4.8 to 6.35 mm) ±3/16 inch (4.8 mm).
Toe-Out Adjustment
1. Loosen the jam nuts on both ends of each drag link (Figure 7-28, Page 7-15) .
2. Rotate both of the drag links equally. To increase the toe-out, rotate both drag links clockwise. To decrease the
toe-out, rotate both drag links counterclockwise. Maintain an equal distance from the ball joint to the end of the
threads on each drag link
(Figure 7-31, Page 7-16) .
3. Tighten the jam nuts to 21 ft-lb (28 N·m).
4. Check the toe-out, and repeat the adjustment procedure if necessary.
5. After the toe-out adjustment is complete, the steering wheel should be at the center of its travel. If not, remove
and correct the position so it is as close to center as possible.
See Steering Wheel Installation on page 7-2.
