Section 09 STEERING/FRONT SUSPENSION
Subsection 01 (STEERING SYSTEM)
Make sure skis are in a straight-ahead position by
placing a straight edge against pre-adjusted track
and measure the distance between front and rear
of skis and straight edge. Measuring points are
220 mm (8-21/32 in) at front and rear of ski pivot
axis.
To reduce tolerance when measuring, set one ski
to proper toe-out (half the total toe-out) then mea-
sure from that ski to the opposite ski.
