  1. Start engine (power steering only). Move steering wheel back and forth several times to position wheel in center. Lock steering wheel in place using steering wheel holder.
  2. Turn off engine. Loosen and slide off small outer clamp from steering gear rubber boot before starting toe-in adjustment to prevent boot from twisting.
  3. Adjust left and right tie rods until each wheel has 1/2 of the desired total toe specification. Tighten jam nut. Attach boot clamp after toe-in adjustment and ensure boot on tie rod is not twisted.
