Rear Axle Toe
The total toe value for the rear axle is not adjustable.
By sliding the rear axle is it possible to even out the individual toe values.
-- Loosening the bolts from the mounting bracket.
-- Determine the individual toe settings of the axle beam in the oblong holes of the mounting bracket.
If the total toe value is outside the permitted tolerance, or if determining the individual toe values is not possible the axle beam must be checked for damage and if necessary replaced.
The body must if necessary be checked/measured or serviced in the area of the mounting points. Refer to Body Repair Information.
