b.
Check to make sure that the cross-toe laser from the left laser box is
hitting the cross-toe mirror in the laser box. If not, adjust the cross toe
vertical pivot knob, which is on the left laser box, until the laser reaches
the mirror.
4)
Set the toe dial on the TLT-36 and TLT-37 to desired toe specifications, i.e.…
1/8”.
Note:
when setting the dial, for example, to 1/8”, it equals a total of 1/8” overall toe or
1/16
”
on each side.
5)
Adjust the tie rod until the cross-toe laser is reflected from the cross-toe mirror
back into the hole. At this point, the lasers should also be hitting the Centering
Targets. Check the numbers that the lasers are hitting.
a.
Your objective is to “match the numbers,” or hit the same number on each
Centering Target, with a tolerance of ½ a digit. For example, if you are
hitting a 4 ½ on the left scale and a 5 on the right scale, this is acceptable.
b.
However, if you are hitting a 2 on the right scale and 6 on the left scale,
then further adjustment is required. In this case, add the numbers together
(2+6=8) and then divide the total in half (8/2=4) to get your target number
(4).
c.
Since, in this example, 4 are your target number, turn the steering wheel
until you hit the number 4. Then adjust the tie rod on the left side until the
laser hits the number 4 on the scale, thus “matching the numbers.”
d.
After making adjustments to the tie rod, it is important that the cross-toe
laser is still in the hole. (Fig. 22)
e.
If desired, the steering wheel can be removed and then replaced in a
straight position.
f.
To check tracking on tandem drive wheels, simply measure the distance
between the rims on each side of the vehicle and make sure that the
measurements are the same.
The Two-wheel Centerline alignment is complete when the cross-toe laser is reflected off
the cross-toe mirror back into the hole and the numbers on the Centering Targets match.
Note: For vehicles with two tie rods, you would simply adjust both tie rods evenly too
walk the lasers to the desired even numbered adjustment.
