Wheel Alignment Check Procedure
1. Check the axle for wheel alignment. The wheels are to
be straight ahead with no toe-in or toe-out. Adjust if nec-
essary by turning the tie rod ends in the direction neces-
sary.
2. Turn the wheels to the extreme left. Check the clearance
between the inside of the tire and the nearest object. If
the clearance is less than 1.0 in (25 mm), adjust the axle
stop to provide clearance. Do not adjust axle stop if
clearance is greater than 1.0 in (25 mm). With the axles
set at a 1.0 in (25 mm) clearance, check the steer cylin-
ders to see that they are not bottomed out. To check the
steer cylinders, remove the pin at the rod end and apply
pressure to move the cylinder rod. The cylinder rod
should travel a minimum of 0.12 in (3.0 mm).
3. Turn the wheels to the extreme right and repeat step 2
for the right side.
