Adjust Front Wheel Toe--in
1. Adjust tire pressures from 24 to 30 PSI (165 to 207
kPa) before checking front wheel toe--in.
2. Either have an operator on the vehicle operator’s
seat or add weight to the driver’s seat equal to the aver-
age operator who will run the vehicle. The operator or
weight must remain on the seat for the duration of the
front wheel toe--in adjustment procedure.
3. On a level surface, roll the vehicle straight back 6 to
10 feet (2 to 3 meters) and then straight forward to the
original starting position. This will allow the vehicle sus-
pension to settle into the normal operating position.
4. Make sure that the front wheels are facing straight
ahead.
5. Measure the distance between the front tires at axle
height at both the front and rear of the tires (Fig. 8). Front
wheel toe--in should be 0+
0.125 inch (0 + 3 mm).
6. If the front wheel toe--in is incorrect, adjust as follows
(Fig. 9):
A. Loosen jam nuts at both ends of steering rack tie
rods.
B. Rotate both tie rods equally to move front of tires
inward or outward.
C. Tighten tie rod jam nuts when toe--in adjustment
is correct. Tie rod jam nuts should be torqued from 45
to 55 ft--lb (62 to 74 N--m).
7. After toe--in adjustment has been completed, ensure
that there is full steering travel in both directions. There
should be no contact between any machine compon-
ents as the wheels are moved from lock to lock. Adjust
if necessary.
