Toe Alignment Adjustment - Polaris Sportsman XP 1000 S 2020 Service Manual

MAINTENANCE

TOE ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT

If toe alignment is incorrect, measure the distance
between vehicle center and each wheel. This will tell you
which tie rod needs adjusting.
NOTICE
Be sure handlebars are straight ahead before
determining which tie rod(s) need 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:
• Hold tie rod end to keep it from rotating.
• Loosen jam nuts at both ends of the tie rod.
• Shorten or lengthen the tie rod until alignment is as
required to achieve the proper toe out setting.
• 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. See
illustration.
