Radius Rod and Tie Rod End Torque Procedure
Radius rod and tie rod ends must be parallel to their
respective mounting surface after tightening jam nut
as shown at right. Hold tie rod or radius rod and tigh-
ten jam nut. If possible, support the edge of the rod
end as shown to keep it from rotating out of position
until jam nut is tight. When tie rod ends are properly
tightened, the tie rod should rotate freely approxi-
mately 1/8 turn.
