Toe-In Adjustment

NOTE: Manufacturer recommends using commercially available computerized 4-wheel alignment equipment. Follow equipment manufacturer instructions to obtain current vehicle alignment settings. Use following procedures for necessary adjustments.
  1. Check caster and camber. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS  table. Adjust if necessary. Secure steering wheel in straight-ahead position. Ensure parking brake is released. Check rear wheel toe-in. If rear toe-in needs adjustment, hold adjusting bolt on rear lower control arm and loosen lock nut. Adjust rear toe-in by turning adjusting bolt until toe-in is correct. Install NEW lock nut, and tighten it while holding adjusting bolt. See Fig 1 . See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  2. Measure front wheel toe-in. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS  table. If adjustment is needed, loosen tie rod lock nuts. Turn both tie rods equally in same direction until front wheels are in straight-ahead position and toe-in reading is correct. Tighten tie rod lock nuts. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . Reposition tie rod boots if they are twisted.
