Toe-In Adjustment; Measuring Toe-In - Komatsu 930E-2 Shop Manual

TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT

1. The steering system must first be centered in the
straight ahead position. Shut down engine and
turn key switch OFF. Allow at least 90 seconds
for the accumulators to bleed down. DO NOT turn
the steering wheel. Block front and back of rear
wheels.
2. Check toe-in by measuring the distance between
the centers of the front tires. These measure-
ments should be taken on a horizontal centerline
at front and rear of tires. Refer to Figure 3-10.
3. Radial tires should have equal measurements
(zero toe-in).
4. Loosen clamp locknuts on tie rod and rotate tie
rod as necessary to obtain correct toe-in setting.
5. When adjustment is complete, tighten clamp
locknuts (7, Figure 3-8) on tie rod to 310 ft. lbs
(420 N.m) torque.
6. Remove blocks from rear wheels.
