Rear Toe Adjustment

  1. Check the toe setting using suitable wheel alignment equipment.
    CAUTION:
    • The cam nut and cam bolt area must be free of foreign material to make sure of correct clamping.
    NOTE:
    • Clean the general area of the joint to prevent foreign material from entering the joint. Clean the area using only mild liquids.
    NOTE:
    • Jounce the vehicle to make sure that the suspension is in its normal, at-rest position.
  2. Loosen the LH and RH rear wheel knuckle bolts.
    NOTE:
    • Do not remove the rear knuckle cam nut and wheel knuckle bolts. If removed, clean the serrations in the bushing sleeve with a wire brush and install a new wheel knuckle bolt and cam nut.
