General procedures
Note: To perform this operation, use proven equipment to adjust the mounting angles of the front wheels. The following describes how to use only basic hardware. No adjustment of the longitudinal angles of the wheels, camber and tilt of the pivot pin is provided.
1. Place the vehicle on a level, horizontal surface with the wheels pointing straight ahead.
2. Push the car so that it "rolls" back and forth, which will cause the suspension to assume a stable position.
3. Adjust the equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions and check the wheel alignment as recommended by the equipment supplier.

4. Place the caliper legs against the inside surface of the wheels, but not against the rims if the rims are damaged.
5. Measure the toe-in along the horizontal centerline of the wheels.
6. Check the clamp bolts for tightness. Tighten to 14 Nm (10 ft·lbs).
7. Release the clamps on both ends of the tie rod.
8. Rotate the tie rod to increase or decrease its working length until the correct toe is achieved.
For more information, please refer to the chapter: Specifications (211-00 Steering System - General Information, Specifications).
9. Push the car backwards by turning the steering wheel from side to side until the ball joints are in a stable position. Bring the front wheels to the straight ahead position and push the car forward a short distance.
10. Check the track and adjust if necessary.
11. When the wheel alignment angles are correct, rotate the ball joints in the direction of the arrows to maximum travel to ensure full unrestricted movement of the steering rod.
12. Tighten the clamp bolts to 14 Nm (10 ft·lbs).
