Rear Wheel
Fig. 1 Measuring Toe-in:
Rear toe is the measurement of the rear wheels in relation to the vehicle centerline, Fig. 1. The leading edge of each rear wheel should toe-in slightly toward the vehicle centerline to ensure proper vehicle tracking. Rear toe should be inspected using suitable alignment gauges, following manufacturer's instructions. When checking or adjusting rear toe, always ensure the amount that the left and right wheels toe-in is as equal as possible.
Fig. 2 Rear Toe-in Adjustment.:
Fig. 3 Measuring Parallel Link Length:
Rear toe-in is adjusted by varying the length of the rear parallel links, Fig. 4.
1. Measure total toe-in and toe-in for each wheel following equipment manufacturer's instructions.
2. Loosen locknuts and adjust parallel link length to obtain specified toe-in, noting the following:
a. Adjust left and right rear parallel links to the same length A, Fig. 5.
b. Standard length is 1.97-2.17 inches. If toe-in cannot be properly adjusted with links at equal length, and at or near specified standard length, check rear suspension for damage and wear, and repair as needed.
3. After adjustment, hold link with suitable wrench to prevent bushing from twisting, then torque locknuts to 58-72 ft. lbs.
