TOE-IN CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT (Contd)
NOTE
Ensure all steering system components are tightened to proper
installation specifications. Replace any damaged steering
component.
Steps 5 through 7 will determine centerline of tire.
Points of measurement for checking toe-in will be where lines
marked in steps 5 and 7 intersect.
Ensure tie rod ends are centered in opposite direction when tires
are centered.
5.
Mark line (1) on center tread (2) of tire (3) 18-5/16 in. (46.5 cm) from ground.
6.
Measure total width of tire tread (4) and record.
7.
Mark line (6) on center tread (2) at one-half total tread width (4).
8.
Repeat steps 5 through 7 for opposite tire.
9.
Measure center tread distance (5) on front side of tires (3) and record.
10.
Rotate tires (3) by moving vehicle forward until points of measurement are 18-5/16 in. (46.5 cm)
above the ground at rear side of tires (3).
11.
Measure center tread distance (7) on rear side of tires (3) and record.
NOTE
If measurement is larger on front side of tires than measurement
on rear side of tires, tires have a toe-out condition.
If toe-in alignment does not meet specifications, repeat checking
procedures to eliminate any possible reading errors.
12.
Subtract front tire measurement, obtained in step 9, from rear tire measurement obtained in
step 11. The result of this subtraction represents toe-in. Proper toe-in is 1/16-3/16 in.
(1.59-4.76 mm).
