Toe

Fig. 1 Adjusting Front Toe-in:

1. Loosen jam nuts at tie rod ends, then release clips at small ends of steering gear boots. Ensure boots are free on tie rod ends so that they will not be twisted when tie rods are turned.
2. Turn tie rods into or out of tie rod ends an equal amount on each side, Fig. 1. To increase toe-in, turn right tie rod toward front of vehicle, and turn left tie rod toward read of vehicle. To decrease toe-in, turn tie rods in opposite direction. One turn of each side tie rod changes toe-in by approximately .28 inch.
3. Check front tracking. Always set tracking immediately after setting toe. Set tracking by by using rear wheels as a reference point. Follow equipment manufacture's instructions to check tracking. The angle of each front wheel in relationship to rear wheels must be the same.
4. Ensure toe-in is still within specifications, then torque jam nuts to 51-72 ft. lbs. Ensure steering gear boot ends are correctly positioned on appropriate sections of tie rods, then install boot clips.
5. Measure turning angle by placing front wheels on a turning-radius gauge and fully turning wheels to the left, then right. Inner turning angle should be 36.44° and outer turning angle should be 30.99°.
