The wheel toe position adjustment is the final adjustment.

  1. Start the engine and turn wheels both ways before straightening the wheels. Secure the steering wheel with the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
  2. Turn off engine.
  3. Loosen the tie rod jam nuts (1).
    NOTE: Each front wheel should be adjusted for one-half of the total toe position specification. This will ensure the steering wheel will be centered when the wheels are positioned straight-ahead.
  4. Adjust the wheel toe position by turning the tie rod as necessary.
  5. Tighten the tie rod jam nut (1) to 75 N.m (55 ft. lbs.).
  6. Verify the specifications.
