Front Toe Adjustment

Important: Ensure that the power steering gear seals do not twist.

1. Remove the small power steering gear seal clamp.
2. Position the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position.
3. Loosen the hex nuts on the tie rod.
4. Rotate the inner tie rod in order to obtain the proper toe angle. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications.
5. Verify that the number of threads showing on each tie rod is nearly equal.

NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

6. Verify that the tie rod ends are square to the steering knuckle before tightening the hex nuts.

Tighten the hex nuts at the tie rod ends to 68 Nm (50 ft. lbs.).

7. Verify that the power steering gear seals are not twisted.
