To hold threaded tube while loosening jam nut,
use a wrench on the center, flat section of tube.
The tie rod has different threads on each end. The end with the
flat area on the threaded tube has left hand threads (clockwise
to loosen) while the end without the flat has conventional right
hand threads (counter-clockwise to loosen).
To adjust wheel alignment, loosen tie rod jam nuts (1)
and turn tie rod (2) until correct alignment is achieved.
Tighten jam nuts to 36 - 40 ft. lbs. (49 - 54 Nm) torque.
Test drive vehicle and confirm steering wheel is correctly
centered. If it is not centered, disconnect intermediate
shaft from steering shaft and center steering wheel (Ref
Fig. 5 on page E-4). Reconnect intermediate shaft and
tighten bolt to 155 - 215 in. lbs. (180 - 250 kg cm) torque.
