Toe-In

Fig. 4 Toe setting:

DESCRIPTION

As viewed from above, the wheels must be set so that distances A and B, Fig. 4, measured at wheel rims and at axle height, are different at a given value. If distance A is smaller than distance B, the setting is known as toe-in. If distance A is greater than distance B, the setting is known as toe-out. The toe setting is given in inches (mm) and refers to the difference between A and B. If distances A and B are the same, the toe setting is 0.




FRONT TOE-IN, ADJUST




1. Measure difference in length between left and right tie rods. If difference is greater than .2 in., remove right tie rod from knuckle and adjust its length until difference is .2 in. or less.
2. Adjust toe-in by turning left tie rod turnbuckle. Toe-in is reduced when turnbuckle is turned toward front of vehicle or increased when turnbuckle is turned toward rear of vehicle. One complete turn of tie rod changes toe-in approximately .29 in. on 1984 models or .59 in. on 1985-88 models.
