NOTE :
Tie rod adjuster components often
become rusted in service. In such cases, it
is recommended that if the torque required
to remove the nut from the bolt (after
breakaway) exceeds 7 ft. lbs., discard the
nuts
and
bolts .
Apply
penetrating
oil
between the clamp and tube and rotate the
clamps until they move freely .
Install new
bolts and nuts to assure proper clamping at
the specified nut torque. (Refer to figure
23 .)
2 . With steering wheel set in straight ahead
position, turn tie rod adjusting sleeves to
obtain the proper toe-in adjustment at curb
load .
3 . When
adjustment has been
completed
according to the recommended specifications,
check to see that
the number
of threads
showing on each end of sleeve are equal and
that the tie rod end housings are at right
angles to steering arm.
