5. Reinstall the tie rod and tires. Torque the wheel studs
to 50 ft–lbs.
6. Adjust the tie rod so that the toe–in (measure at the
front of the tires) is within 1/8 of an inch when the
wheels are in the straight ahead position. The
measurement must be taken at the same height from
the ground on both the front and rear (Fig. 3). After
adjusting, the slots in the tie rod and the clamps
should face downwards.
