To center the steering unit in the middle of its travel,
turn the steering wheel to the left until the it contacts
the steering stop.
2.
Rotate the wheel to the right while counting the num-
ber of turns required to contact the right steering
stop. Divide the number of turns by two. This indi-
cates the number of steering wheel turns required to
achieve center.
Roll the vehicle forward 10 feet (3 meters). Measure the
center tread distance at the front of the tires (Ref. Fig.
33). Measure as close to parallel with the front lower
frame of the vehicle as possible.

rear of the front tires. The correct measurement is 0
to 1/8 inch (0 - 3.2mm) toe in.

tance are both acceptable methods to equalize tie
rod length.

To adjust the wheel alignment, loosen the tie rod jam
nut (42), holding the hex form on the tie rod (44)
(Ref. Fig. 34).
