NOTE: An incorrectly adjusted toe-in curve adjustment causes the vehicle to pull to one side when braking or accelerating or when driving over bumps. Toe-in curve adjustment can also be referred to as toe constant "S" adjustment.

When the suspension is compressed (bumped) or extended (rebounded) the toe of the wheel changes relative to the amount of compression or extension. The resulting change in toe-in, is defined as "toe constant S." If toe-in curve needs adjustment, front toe in should be adjusted AFTER toe-in curve adjustment.

The toe-in curve must be checked in the following cases:

If the vehicle has been in an accident or sustained damage to the suspension components and/or bodywork.
If the vehicle does not maintain direction of travel over bumps and when braking or accelerating.
If front upper link is removed or replaced.
If front strut upper mounting bracket is removed or replaced.
If front wheel bearing housing is removed or replaced.
If front tie rod isremoved or replaced.
If steering gear is removed or replaced.
If front subframe is removed or replaced.

Begin toe-in curve adjustment by setting suspension to starting position.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

• You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.

• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.

• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.

• You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.

• You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
