Stop Screw Adjustment

Stop Screw Adjustment

The angle of the steering arms determines the turning angle or toe-out on turns.

Ensure that the stop screw adjustment provides 16 mm (0.6250 in) minimum clearance of the tire with all chassis components installed, regardless of the maximum turning angles. The stop screws are installed in the steering knuckles and stop against the axle center.




1. Loosen the jam nut (2) and the right stop screw (1) in order to prevent the stop screw from contacting its stop when the wheels are turned to the extreme right.
2. Hold the right wheel tightly against the right turn position, with the wheels turned to the extreme right.
3. Turn out the stop screw until the stop screw contacts firmly against the stop.
4. Turn the stop screw one more turn against the stop.
5. Verify the position of the tire. Adjust the tire as necessary in order to provide 16 mm (0.6250 in) clearance to all chassis components.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Cautions and Notices.

6. Tighten the jam nut on the stop screw.

Tighten the jam nut to 65 Nm (48 lb ft).

7. Repeat the previous six steps for the left side stop screw adjustment.
8. Recheck the turning clearance and the stop screw setting when installing oversize tires.
9. Verify the position of the tire. Adjust the tire as necessary in order to provide 16 mm (0.6250 in) clearance to all of the chassis components.
