Toe

NOTE: Toe should only be checked and adjusted after the caster and camber have been adjusted to specification.

DESCRIPTION
Toe-in and toe-out is the difference in the distance between the extreme front and extreme rear of the tires. Toe-in occurs when the dimension taken at the front of the tires is less than that taken at the rear of the tires (positive toe). Toe-out occurs when the dimension taken at the front of the tires is greater than that taken at the rear of the tires (negative toe).

PROCEDURE
1. Start the engine and move the steering wheel back and forth several times until it is in the straight-ahead or centered position so the power steering control valve will be in the center (neutral) position.
2. Lock the steering wheel in place using a steering wheel holder.
3. Adjust the LH and RH tie rod end lengths until each wheel has one-half of the desired total toe specification. For correct toe setting, refer to Specifications.

NOTE: Whenever the jam nuts are loosened for toe adjustment, the nut and tie rod ends must be cleaned and lubricated and the jam nut tightened to 58-67 Nm (43-49 ft. lbs.).
