Service Procedure

FIGURE 1. TOE-IN:

FIGURE 2. TOE-IN CHART:

FIGURE 3:

1. Raise vehicle up on hoist.

2. Inspect tie-rod clamps for looseness. Also inspect toe-in. See Figures 1 and 2. Toe-in should be 0 degrees plus or minus 0.20 degrees.

3. If tie-rod clamps are not properly torqued or toe-in is not correct, it resetting of toe-in is required, re-adjust tie-rods to 0 degrees plus or minus 0.10 degrees.
4. Tighten tie-rod clamps as follows: (See Figure 3)

A. Position clamps on adjuster between locating dimples at either end of the adjuster tube.

B. Rotate both inner and outer tie-rods rearward, full travel, before tightening adjuster clamps. This will permit free movement and full travel of ball joints during operation.
C. Maintain tie-rod rearward rotated position during adjustment and tightening.
D. When tube is adjusted, an equal number of threads should show on each end of the adjuster, and a minimum of three threads should be showing.

E. Position adjuster slot as shown in View "A".
F. Position clamps. Clamps must be within 90 degree angular limit shown in View "A"

G. Tighten clamps and torque to 16-22 N-m (12-16 ft.lb.). Clamp ends may touch each other at outer end when clamp nuts are fully torqued, but the gap next to the adjuster must be at least 0.127 mm (0.005 inch). See View "B".

H. When clamps are tightened, rotate tie-rods forward and place in centered position.

5. Install "Campaign Identification Label".
