Wheel Toe Adjustment - Polaris General 2020 Service Manual

5. Again measure the distance between the marks and
record. Call this measurement "3". Subtract
measurement "3" from measurement "2". The
difference between measurements "2" and "3" is the
vehicle toe alignment. Because the specification is for
toe out, the measurement at the front of the tire (2) is
wider than the measurement at the rear (3).
MEASUREMENT
Wheel Toe-Out:
0-1/8 in (0-3.175 mm)

WHEEL TOE ADJUSTMENT

If toe alignment is incorrect, repeat steps 3-5 of "Wheel
Toe Alignment Inspection" page 2.44, but instead
measure the distance between each wheel and the
vehicle center. This will tell you which tie rod needs
adjusting.
NOTICE
Be sure steering wheel is straight ahead before
determining which tie rod needs adjustment.
IMPORTANT
During tie rod adjustment, it is very important that the
following precautions be taken when tightening tie rod
end jam nuts. If the rod end is positioned incorrectly it
will not pivot, and may break.
To adjust toe alignment:
1. Hold tie rod end to keep it from rotating.
2. Loosen jam nuts at both end of the tie rod.

3. Shorten or lengthen the tie rod until alignment is as
required to achieve the proper toe specification.
IMPORTANT
When tightening the tie rod end jam nuts, the rod ends
must be held parallel to prevent rod end damage and
premature wear. Damage may not be immediately
apparent if done incorrectly.
4. After alignment is complete, torque jam nuts to
specification.
