1. Lift the front of the vehicle and support on jack
stands as instructed in the SAFETY section.
2. Rotate each wheel and scribe a paint line around the
circumference of the tire at the center of the tread
pattern.
3. Lower vehicle with the tires in the straight ahead
position.
4. Roll vehicle forward approximately five feet to allow
the tires to obtain their normal running position.
5. Measure the distance between the paint lines at both
the front and rear of the tires. The measurement
taken at the front of the tires should be 0" - 1/8” (0 - 3
mm) less than the rear measurement.

6. To adjust the wheel alignment, loosen the tie rod jam
nut (1) and turn the tie rods an equal number of turns
until the correct alignment is achieved. Failure to
turn both tie rods the same number of turns will
result in poor turning radius (Figure 4).
7. Tighten the tie rod jam nuts (1) to torque value speci-
fied below.
