Tighten the jam nuts snugly against the rod ends. If B needs to be larger, screw the rod ends outward.
SPINDLE WHEEL FULL
To make diminsion B smaller, screw both ends inward on both rods 1 or 2 full turns. If the vehicle is equipped with tie rods as shown above in Figure 4, adjust as follows: Loosen and move the two jam nuts away from the rod ends. Recheck the distance and repeat the above steps until the dimensions are per paragraph 1 and 2. BOLTS AND NUTS MUST BE IN PLACE AND TIGHT BEFORE CHECKING THE DIMENSIONS. If B needs to be larger, screw the rod ends inward. To Make dimension B smaller, screw both rod ends out-ward 1 or 2 full turns. Loosen and move the jam nut away from both of the rod ends. TRAILING LINK ALIGNMENT (as shown in Figure 2): If the vehicle is equipped with tie rods as shown in Figure 2, adjust as follows: Remove the nuts from both rods at the spindle arm. Replace the hex head bolts thru the rod ends and spindle arms, and replace the lock nuts.
If it's equipped with tie rods as shown above in Figure 4, adjust as follows: Loosen and move the two jam nuts away from the rod ends. If the wheels are turned when the steering arm is vertical, the steering angle either to the right or left is reduced and the wheels require alignment. When the steering arm on the steering column is vertical and centered, the front wheels are to be aligned directly forward (not turned). Recheck the dimensions for proper alignment. Ensure the steering wheel is centered, and adjust Dimension B by equally rotating the tie rods in or out with a wrench.Īfter adjusting to the desired length, tighten the lock nuts against the Tie Rods. TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS: Loosen the lock nuts on both sides of Front Tie Rods. If dimension A is not 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch greater than dimension B, the front wheels require alignment. For proper toe adjustment, Dimension A should be a 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch greater than Dimension B. At the centerline of the tires, with the wheels pointed straight ahead, measure the Distance A and the Distance B.
The front wheels should be set with a 'Toe-In' from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch.
