EZ Toe
Note, DO NOT LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL
When centering the steering wheelOn some vehicles it is best to start the engineTurn slightly left ( aprox. 2degrees )Turn slightly right ( aprox. 2degrees )Turn back to the left slowly and stop when the steering wheel is centered.Do not move the steering wheel when exiting the vehicle.
Right Wheel Flashing
Steer to Adjust Position ?On some vehicles the adjustments can not be easily reached with the wheels in the straight ahead Position.
On these vehicles the system allows the Technician to steer the wheel to a position where the adjustment is more accessible
Adjust Right Toe
Lightly bounce front suspension from center to relieve stress induced by adjustment
Left Wheel Flashing
Adjust Left Wheel
Lightly bounce front suspension from center to relieve stress induced by adjustment
After making all adjustments, steer the left front wheel to the right aprox. 2 degrees and then back to the left until the left and right front toe numbers are equal. Check the position of the steering wheel and fine tune if necessary.
When the toe numbers are equal and the steering wheel is straight..The chance of having a crooked steering wheel while driving has been reduced.
No Technician gets a perfectly straight steering wheel the first time every time.
