TOE-IN

Take average of two readings to check toe-in. If not within specifications, loosen lock nut for each tie rod and loosen clips securing rubber gaiters to tie rods. To adjust, rotate both tie rods equally to set toe-in to specifications. NOTE - Tie rods must be equal in lengths. Tighten lock nuts and clips on tie rods.
