Front Toe Adjustment






1. Loosen the lock nuts on the tie rod.

NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

NOTICE: Care must be taken that the boots are not twisted when rotating the inner tie rod, or damage to the boots may result.

2. Rotate the inner tie rod to adjust the toe. Refer to WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS.

Tighten
Tighten the lock nuts to 64 Nm (47 ft. lbs.).

3. Adjust the boots as needed in order to prevent damage.
