Toe Adjustment - Rack and Pinion Steering System

TOE ADJUSTMENT - RACK AND PINION STEERING SYSTEM

1. Start the engine and turn wheels both ways before straightening the wheels. Secure the steering wheel with the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.




2. Loosen the tie rod jam nuts (1).

NOTE: Each front wheel should be adjusted for one-half of the total toe position specification. This will ensure the steering wheel will be centered when the wheels are positioned straight-ahead.

3. Adjust the wheel toe position by turning the inner tie rod (2) as necessary.

NOTE: Make sure the toe setting does not change during tightening.

4. Tighten the tie rod jam nut (1) to 127 Nm (94 ft. lbs.).
5. Verify the specifications.
6. Road test the vehicle.
