Procedure
1. Raise the axles until the strut rods in the suspension cylinders are fully extended.

2. Move the wheels to a straight ahead position.

3. Measure the distance between the front wheels at location (F) .

4. Mark location (F) at each tire. Rotate the tires by 180 degrees.

5. Measure the distance at location (B) between the same marks.

6. Use Table 1 to determine the correct toe-out when the front wheels are off the ground.

Table 1

Correct Toe-Out
B = F - 48.5 mm (1.91 inch)

7. If the difference that was found in the previous step is not correct, adjust each link assembly by
the same number of turns.

Note: After the adjustment has been made, the tie rods must be of equal length.

Note: Use the following procedure to align the tie rod with the clamp assembly. Failure to correctly
locate the clamp assembly on the tie rod could shorten the service life of the tie rod assembly.
