Toe Position

Before each alignment reading the vehicle should be jounced (rear first, then front). Grasp each bumper at the center and jounce the vehicle up and down three times. Always release the bumper in the down position.

NOTE: The wheel toe position adjustment is the final adjustment. This adjustment must be performed with the engine running, if the vehicle is equipped with power steering.

Start the engine and turn wheels both ways before straightening the steering wheel. Center and secure the steering wheel.
Loosen the adjustment sleeve clamp bolts. See Fig 1.

Adjust the right wheel toe position with the drag link. See Fig 2. Turn the sleeve until the right wheel is at the correct positive TOE-IN position. Position the clamp bolts as shown and tighten to 49 N.m (36 ft. lbs.). See Fig 1.Make sure the toe setting does not change during clamp tightening.
