Next, set the bar level and tighten itdown. Do this on both the driver andpassenger sides.Using two tape measures, measurethe outside width at the front and therear of the tubes. The front dimensionshould be 1/8 to 3/16 less than therear; this is the total amount of toe-in.Record the front and rear dimensionsand calculate the amount of toe-in bysubtracting the front measurementfrom the rear.To adjust the toe-in, rotate the tie rodends to move the spindle in or out asrequired. Make sure to rotate boththe driver and passenger side thesame amount. One-half revolution ofboth tie rod ends will change the toeinby approximately ¼ inch, front toback.#917701 Page 29
If rotating the tie rod end 360 degreeschanges the toe-in too much, use therack tie rod to make smaller adjustments.Put the tie rod end in thesteering arm and snug the castle nutbefore adjusting. Use vise-grips tograb onto the tie rod and rotate it toadjust the length. Be careful to turnboth tie rods the same amount.When turning the tie rods, the rubberboot will “wind up" on the tie rod.Once the toe-in is adjusted, use pliersto “unwind” the boot around the tierod. Gently grab onto the outer bootclamp and twist it back around untilthe boots are straight. The jam nutscan now be tightened against the tierod ends.Verify caster, camber and toe-in arecorrect before proceeding.Once the camber, caster, and toe-inare set, tighten down the A-arm boltsand jam nuts, and install the setscrews with a drop of Loctite.#917701 Page 30
