Toe Adjustment

Wheel Toe Position

The wheel toe position adjustment should be the final front wheel alignment adjustment.
In all instances, follow the equipment manufacturer's recommended procedure.

1. Secure the steering wheel with the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
For vehicles equipped with power steering, start the engine before straightening the wheels.

Note: With power steering, the engine should be operating during the wheel toe position adjustment.

2. Loosen the tie rod adjustment sleeve clamp bolts (as shown).
3. Adjust the wheel toe position by rotating the tie rod adjustment sleeve (as shown).

Note: To avoid a binding condition at either tie rod, rotate each tie-rod end in the direction of sleeve rotation during the adjustment. This will ensure that both tie-rod ends are at the center of their travel when the adjustment sleeve clamps are tightened.

4. If applicable. turn the ignition switch OFF.
5. Position the adjustment sleeve clamps so the ends are not located at the sleeve slot.
Tighten the clamp bolt (heavy duty tie rods) nuts with 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.) torque.
Ensure clamp bolts are located at the underside of the sleeve.
