NOTE: All measurements and adjustments must
be made with the vehicle unloaded.
Mark the center-line of the front tires at the front and
rear of the tire; then using a tape measure, measure and
record the distance between the marks at the front and

(1/4-1/2 in.) greater than the rear measurement
(toe-out).
