Toe-in Adjustment – for vehicles equipped with steering damper accessory
1.
Loosen the jam nuts on both ends of each drag link
.
2.
Rotate both of the drag links equally. To increase the toe-in, rotate both drag links counterclockwise. To decrease
the toe-in, rotate both drag links clockwise. Maintain an equal distance from the ball joint to the end of the
threads on each drag link
.
3.
Tighten the jam nuts to 21 ft-lb (28 N·m).
4.
Check the toe-in, and repeat the adjustment procedure if necessary.
5.
After the toe-in adjustment is complete, the steering wheel should be at the center of its travel. If not, remove and
correct the position so it is as close to center as possible.
