supports and axle. Tag axle alignment is factory
set and is not subject to any change, except if
vehicle has been damaged by an accident or if
there are requirements for parts replacement.
CAUTION
If this setting is altered significantly, it will
cause excessive tire wear.
NOTE
It may be necessary to adjust the axle TOE as
well as its alignment. In this case, insert shims
(7 min. - P/N 121203 or 15 min. - P/N 121240)
in between mounting plate and spindle, as
required.
If axle has been removed for repair or servicing
and if all parts are reinstalled exactly in their
previous locations, axle alignment is not
necessary. However, if the suspension supports
have been replaced or have changed position,
proceed with the following instructions to verify
or adjust the tag axle alignment.
