Readjust if necessary.

Toe(total)

1. Measure toe angle with a toe angle gauge, per manufacturer instructions.

2. If measurement does not meet specification, loosen left and right tie rod jam nuts, then turn each tie rod as

needed to achieve proper toe angle.

1) Left and right tie-rods are right hand threaded. To decrease toe angle thread right and left side

tie-rods into tie-rod ends. To increase toe-in, unthread toe-rods.

2) One full turn of both tie rods changes toe-in by about 24 in(6mm).
3) If may be necessary to rotate one tie rod more than the other in order to achieve the proper toe

angle and still retain a straight steering wheel.

toolsare in their designated positions. vehicle must be on a level surface.

2. Measure rear toe angle with a toe angle gauge.

3. If specification is not met, loosen rear lateral link jam nuts.

4. Turn lateral link adjuster to adjust left or right tear wheel as needed.

One turn of link changes toe approximately 0.12 in (3 mm)

5. Repeat for other side if necessary.
