3. Replace hex nut after the proper adjustment is achieved.
NOTE: Threading the ball joints too far onto the drag links
will cause the front tires to "toe-in" too far. Proper toe-in is
between 1/16" and 5/16".
Front tire toe-in can be measured as follows:
1. Place the steering wheel in position for straight ahead
travel.
2. In front of the axle, measure the distance horizontally from
the inside of the left rim to the inside of the right rim. Note
the distance.
3. Behind the axle, measure the distance horizontally from
the inside of the left rim to the inside of the right rim. Note
the distance.
4. The measurement taken in front of the axle should be
between 1/16" and 5/16" less than the measurement taken
behind the axle. Adjust if necessary.
