  1. Toe-in can be changed by adjusting length of tie rods. With tie rods mounted ahead of steering knuckle, decreased length to increase toe-in.

  4. Position tie rod clamps and sleeves correctly and tighten nuts. See Figure . On rack and pinion models, tighten jam nut when set to proper specifications.
