are
threaded into the bali joint on the left side and the
ball joint on the right side:
• Loosen the jam nut found on the drag link at
the rear of the ball joint. See Figure 10.
• Remove the hex nut and lock washer on the

• Replace
hex

NOTE:
Threading
the ball joints
too far onto the
drag links will cause the front tires to "toe-in" too far.
Proper toe-in is between 1/16" and 5/16".
Front tire toe-in can be measured as follows:
• Place
the
steering
wheel
in position
for
straight ahead travel. Insert a 1/4" dowel up
