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.

(Fig. 42).
When rear wheels are adjusted correctly, tighten
