Adjusting Rear-Axle Toe

Information 

• For reasons of accessibility, the screw head at the eccentric screw for the toe cannot be turned. It can be adjusted at the lock nut side by attaching another larger hexagon with an eccentric washer (a/f 26 mm) to it. The toe is adjusted on this in the usual way. 
• When tightening the lock nut to the specified torque, always counter at the large hexagon. 
• Use a commercially available straight double-ring wrench (a/f 26 mm) as an adjustment tool (e.g. from Hazet). 

1. After loosening the lock nut -1-  , turn toe eccentric adjuster -2-  as required.

   Then tighten the lock nut -1-  on the toe eccentric adjuster -2-  to 100 Nm (74 ftlb.).

   Procedure otherwise the same as vehicles without rear-axle steering (after undoing the lock nut, -2-  rotate the toe eccentric adjuster as required).

   Then tighten the lock nut -2-  to 100 Nm (74 ftlb.).
