Front Axle Toe, Adjusting






Front Axle Toe, Adjusting

- Measure the dimension - a - between the tie rod head - 1 - and the left and right tie rod - 2 - and make a note of the value. Dimension - a - should be the same before and after adjusting on the left and right.






- Loosen lock nut - B -.






• Counterhold the tie rod end - C - when loosening the lock nut - B -.

- Adjust toe on left and right-hand wheels at hex - A -.

• Be sure that boots are not twisted after turning tie rods!

Twisted boots wear out quickly.

- Tighten lock nut - B - (refer to => [ Hydraulic Power Steering Gear ] Overhaul) and check toe-in value again.

After tightening lock nut - B - it is possible that the value deviates slightly.

If the measured toe nevertheless lies within the tolerance, the adjustment is correct.
