Toe-in is the difference in the distance measured between the front and rear of the front wheels. To adjust:

  1. Measure toe-in with front wheels in straight ahead position and steering wheel centered. To adjust toe-in, loosen clamps and turn adjusting sleeve or adjustable end on right and left hand tie rods. See Fig 2 and Fig 2.
  2. Turn 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.

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