1. Loosen the LH and RH tie rod end jam nuts.





2. Turn the front wheel spindle tie rods equally until the toe-in setting is within specifications.

CAUTION: The LH and RH front wheel spindle tie rods are both RH threaded. To increase the toe-in, turn the RH front wheel spindle tie rod toward the front of the vehicle and turn the LH front wheel spindle tie rod by the same amount toward the rear of the vehicle. One turn of the front wheel spindle tie rod (both sides) makes a toe-in change of about 6 mm (0.24 in).





3. Tighten the tie rod end jam nuts.
