WHEEL TOE ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
1. Place machine on a smooth level surface and set
steering wheel in a straight ahead position. Secure
the steering wheel in this position.
2. Place a chalk mark on the center line of the front tires
at position
q
approximately 10″ (25.4 cm) from the
floor or as close to the hub/axle center line as
possible.
NOTE
It is important the height of both marks be equally
positioned to get an accurate measurement.
3. Measure the distance between the marks at position
q
and record the measurement. Call this
measurement A.
4. Rotate the tires 180° to position
w
by moving the
vehicle forward. Position chalk marks facing
rearward, even with the hub/axle center line.
5. Again measure the distance between the marks at
position
w
and record. Call this measurement B.
6. Subtract measurement B from measurement A. The
difference between measurements A and B is the ve-
hicle toe alignment. The recommended vehicle toe
tolerance is 0–1/8" (0– 3.2 mm) toe out. This means
the measurement at the front of the tire (A) is 0–1/8"
(0–3.2 mm) wider than the measurement at the rear
(B).
MEASUREMENT
Wheel Toe-Out:
0–1/8" (0–3.2 mm)
WHEEL TOE ADJUSTMENT
If toe alignment is incorrect, repeat steps 3-5 of “Wheel
Toe Alignment Inspection”, but instead measure the
distance between each wheel and the vehicle center.
This will tell you which tie rod needs adjusting.
NOTE
Be sure steering wheel is straight ahead before
determining which tie rod needs adjustment.
