the same height as the center of each hub. Measure the distance between the marks.
3.

Subtract the front face tire measurement from the rear face tire measurement. Proper toe-in is 3/16 to 1/4 inch
(4.8 to 6.35 mm) ± 3/16 inch (4.8 mm).
Toe-in Adjustment
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.
