Toe Adjustment - Rear

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Sable, 2009 Ford Taurus X, and 2009 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Using alignment equipment and the manufacturer's instructions, measure the rear toe.
Start the engine and center the steering wheel.

NOTE: Use a steering wheel holding device (such as Hunter® 28-75-1 or equivalent).

Turn the engine OFF and using a suitable holding device, hold the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position.
Loosen the toe link nut approximately one full turn.

Recheck the toe settings and adjust as necessary.
