Check Front Axle Toe-In

1. Remove front wheel shields, if equipped.

2. Rephase front steering by turning wheels to left steering stop. Turn the steering wheel three additional revolutions to left. Repeat turning wheels to right.

3. Drive straight ahead 6.1 m (20 ft).

4. Mark tire center (A) at front and rear of rim, on centerline (B).

5. IMPORTANT: Take the measures at the wheel rim, and not at the outside of the tire.

   Measure from mark-to-mark diagonally to verify if wheels are straight ahead. If measurements are not equal within 6.3 mm (0.25 in), turn steering wheel slightly to adjust tires and measure again.

6. Measure from mark-to-mark on rear of each rim. Record measurement for rear spacing dimension (C).

7. Measure from mark-to-mark on front of each rim. Record measurement for front spacing dimension (D).

8. Subtract front spacing from rear spacing to obtain toe-in dimension. Dimension (D) should be 10—25 mm (0.38—1 in) less than dimension (C).

9. If dimensions are not within specified range, see Adjust Front Axle Toe-In in Wheels, Tires and Treads Section.
