Toe-In Adjustment

  1. Toe-in is changed by adjusting length of tie rods. When tie rods are mounted ahead of steering knuckle, decrease length in order to increase toe-in. Loosen clamp bolts at each end of steering tie rod adjustment sleeve.
  2. On models with rack and pinion steering loosen jam nut. With steering wheel set straight ahead, turn tie rod adjusting sleeves to obtain the proper toe-in adjustment.
  3. With adjustment completed, check number of threads showing on each end of sleeve are equal and tie rod end housing is at right angles to steering arm. Position tie rod clamps and sleeves. See Fig 1 . Tighten to specifications. On rack and pinion models tighten jam nut when set to specifications.
