Adjust by the following:
•
Mark both tie-rods ends. This
reference point will be needed
during adjustment.
•
Loosen the locknut (tie rod end)
(1) on each tie rod.
•
The same number of turns should
be given to both the right and left
tie-rods (2) until the specified toe-
in is obtained. This is to keep the
length of the rods the same.
•
Tighten the tie rod end locknuts on
both right and left tie rods.

the same amount. If not, the vehicle will
drift right or left even though the
steering wheel is positioned straight.
