Toe-in Adjustment:





1. Check to see that steering shaft and steering wheel marks are in alignment and in the top position.
2. Loosen clamp screw on tie rod bellows and free the seal on the rod to prevent twisting of bellows, Fig. 1.
3. Place opened end wrench on flats of tie rod socket to prevent socket from turning, then loosen tie rod jam nuts.
4. Use suitable pliers to turn tie rod inner end to correct the adjustment to specifications. Do not use pliers on tie rod threads. Turning to reduce number of threads showing will increase toe-in. Turning in opposite direction will reduce toe-in.
5. Torque tie rod jam nuts to 43-50 ft. lbs.
