ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES

Note. Before making any adjustments, check ride height of vehicle and measure and record all alignment angles. See RIDE HEIGHT under ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES.

TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT

Note. Tie rod adjuster parts often become rusted in service. If torque required to remove the nut from bolt after break-away exceeds 84 INCH lbs. (9 N.m), discard nuts and bolts and replace with correct numbered parts.

  1. Center steering wheel and hold with steering wheel clamp. Loosen tie rod lock nuts or adjustment sleeve clamp bolts. Rotate inner tie rods or adjustment sleeves to align toe to specification. See «ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-54713-S34532537242001011800000) .
  2. Ensure the number of threads showing on each tie rod or inside each adjustment sleeve is nearly equal. Ensure tie rod ends are square before tightening lock nuts. Tighten tie rod lock nuts or adjustment sleeve clamp bolts to specification. See «TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-54713-S36914641712001011800000) .
