4.24 STEERING
If looseness is noticed in the steering system, check
hardware for tightness and wear points for excessive
wear. Replace as needed.
Proper front wheel toe-in is necessary to assure proper
steering and to reduce tire wear. Proper toe-in is when
front of wheels are 1/16-1/8 in (.016-.032 mm) closer
together than rear of wheels (measured at horizontal
centerline of rim flange).
If unit wanders or excessive tire wear develops, toe-in
should be checked. To correct toe-in, loosen jam nuts
at tie rods ends, turn tie rod clockwise to decrease or
counterclockwise to increase toe-in. Tighten jam nuts.
