Front Axle Toe, Adjusting






Front Axle Toe, Adjusting

- To loosen or tighten lock nut - B -, counter hold at the tie rod end - A - with a wrench.






- Loosen lock nut - B -.

- Adjust toe on left and right-hand wheels with hex - C -.

Make sure that boot on the steering gear is not damaged or twisted. Twisted boots wear out quickly.

Only tighten lock nuts when vehicle is resting on the ground - tie rod end must be parallel to suspension strut steering lever.

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.
