Toe Alignment Inspection
1. Place machine on a smooth level surface.
2. Set steering wheel in a straight ahead position and secure
the steering wheel in this position.
3. Place a chalk mark on the center line of the 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 that the height of both marks
be equally positioned in order to get an accurate
measurement.
4. Measure the distance between the marks and record the
measurement. Call this measurement “A”.
5. Rotate the tires 180

by moving vehicle forward or
backward. Position chalk marks facing rearward, even with
the hub/axle center line.
6. 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).
Toe Adjustment
If toe alignment is incorrect, measure the distance between
vehicle center and each wheel. This will tell you which tie rod
needs adjusting.
NOTE: Be sure steering wheel is straight ahead
before determining which tie rod(s) need
adjustment.
To adjust toe alignment:
• Hold tie rod end to keep it from rotating.
• Loosen jam nuts at both ends of the tie rod.
• Shorten or lengthen the tie rod until alignment is as
required to achieve the proper toe setting as specified in
Toe Alignment Inspection .
• 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.
• After alignment is complete, torque jam nuts to
specification. Keep tie rod parallel to the mounting
surface.

CAUTION
During tie rod adjustment, it is very important that
the following precautions be taken when
tightening tie rod end jam nuts.
If the rod end is positioned incorrectly it will not
pivot, and may break.
