Rear Toe Adjustment

- J 38118 Rear Toe Adjusting Tool

IMPORTANT: Perform the left and the right toe adjustment procedures in the same manner.

IMPORTANT:
- Check and set the toe with a full fuel tank.
- Jounce the vehicle three times before you check the alignment. This will eliminate false readings.
- Set the left side toe and the right side toe separately to achieve the specified total toe and thrust angle.

2. Install the J 38118 in the rear rod access hole closest to the center of the rear suspension support and the other end of the J 38118 to the rear suspension support.
3. Hand-tighten the turnbuckle portion of the J 38118 in the direction of the adjustment.
4. Loosen the rear rod nut at the crossmember a minimum of four turns.
5. Rotate the turnbuckle portion of the J 38118 to reach the correct toe specification.
- Tighten the rear rod to crossmember nut to 150 Nm (111 ft. lbs.).

6. Remove the J 38118.
