Toe Adjustment
STANDARD PROCEDURE-TOE POSITION
Before each alignment reading the vehicle should be jounced (rear first, then front). Grasp each bumper at the center and jounce the vehicle up and down three times. Always release the bumper in the down position.
To obtain an accurate alignment, a 4 wheel alignment machine must be used and the equipment calibration verified.
NOTE: For an accurate wheel toe position adjustment the engine must be engine running.
1. Apply parking brakes.
2. Start the engine and turn wheels both ways before straightening the steering wheel. Center and secure the steering wheel.
3. Loosen the tie rod adjustment sleeve clamp bolts .
4. Turn the sleeve to obtain the preferred positive TOE-IN specification. Position the clamp bolts as shown for proper clearance.
5. Tighten the clamp bolts to 68 Nm (50 ft. lbs.).
NOTE: Make sure the toe setting does not change during clamp tightening.
6. Verify alignment specifications, then turn the engine off.
