Toe-In Adjustment

1971 Chevrolet P20 Van 4.1L Eng VIN CSECTION Toe-In Adjustment

Measure toe-in with front wheels in straight ahead position and steering wheel centered. Adjust toe-in by loosening clamps and turning adjusting sleeve or adjustable end on right and left tie rods equally and in opposite directions to maintain steering wheel in centered position.

CAUTION: Face of tie rod end must be parallel with machined surface of steering rod end to prevent cocking and binding of the ball end in service.

When tightening clamps, make certain that clamp bolts are positioned so there will be no interference with other parts throughout entire travel of linkage.
