Front Toe Adjustment

  1. Loosen the jam nut on the tie rod (2).
  2. Rotate the inner tie rod (1) to the required toe specification setting. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications .
    CAUTION: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
  3. Tighten the jam nut on the tie rod.

    Tighten 

    Tighten the tie rod jam to 68 N.m (50 lb ft).

  4. Check the toe setting after tightening.
  5. Readjust the toe setting if necessary.
