STEERING AND FRONT SUSPENSION
3. Loosen, but do not remove, the hex nut (8) on the adjustment eccentric (7) (Figure 9-22, Page 9-19 or
Figure 9-24, Page 9-21) in the center of the spring. See also Figure 9-17, Page 9-14.
4. Use a 7 mm deep well socket to rotate the eccentric (Figure 9-17, Page 9-14).
5. After adjusting camber, tighten the four spring retaining bolts (30) (Figure 9-22, Page 9-19 or
Figure 9-24, Page 9-21) to 23 ft-lb (31 N·m). Then roll the vehicle forward one full tire revolution and
recheck the camber. See also Figure 9-16, Page 9-14.
6. Tighten the hex nut (8) on the adjustment eccentric (7) to 10 ft-lb (13.5 N·m) (Figure 9-22, Page 9-19 or
Figure 9-24, Page 9-21). See also Figure 9-17, Page 9-14.
Toe-in Adjustment
1. On a level surface, roll the vehicle forward, then stop. Make sure the front wheels are pointed straight
ahead. Do not turn the steering wheel again during this procedure.
2. On each front tire, mark (as closely as possible) the center of the tread face that is oriented toward the
rear of the vehicle. The marks should be even with the bottom surfaces of the vehicle frame I-beams.
3. Measure the distance between the marks on the rear-facing surfaces of the tires, and then roll the vehicle
forward one and one-half wheel revolutions until the marks appear on the forward facing surfaces of the
tires at about the same height from the floor (Figure 9-18, Page 9-15).

4. Measure the distance between the marks on the forward-facing surfaces of the tires. See following
NOTE.
NOTE: The front measurement must be less than the rear measurement.
5. Subtract the measurement on the front of the tires from the measurement on the rear of the tires. The
difference is the toe-in. Proper toe-in is 1/8 to 3/8 of an inch (3.2 to 9.5 mm).
6. If adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut on each tie rod ball joint and rotate the tie rod to increase
or decrease toe-in (Figure 9-19, Page 9-15). See following CAUTION.
