Adjusting Rear Wheel Toe–in
The rear wheels should not toe–in or toe–out when they are
adjusted correctly. To check the rear wheel toe–in, measure
the center–to–center distance at wheel hub height, in front
and in back of the rear tires. If the wheels toe–in or toe–out,
an adjustment is required.
1. Rotate the steering wheel so rear wheels are straight
ahead.
2. Loosen the jam nuts on both tie rods Adjust both tie
rods until center-to-center distance at front and back of
rear wheels is the same (Fig. 42).
3. When rear wheels are adjusted correctly, tighten jam
nuts against tie rods.
