  1. Toe-in can be changed by adjusting length of tie rods. With tie rods mounted ahead of steering knuckle, decreased length to increase toe-in.

  3. With adjustment complete, check that number of threads showing on each end of sleeve are equal. Check that tie rod end housing is at right angles to steering arm.
  4. Position tie rod clamps and sleeves correctly and tighten nuts. See Figure . On rack and pinion models, tighten jam nut when set to proper specifications.
