1.
Put a mark on each side of the locking clamp on the
tie rod.
2. Loosen the locking nuts on each end of the tie rod and then
the six bolts on the tie rod locking clamp.
3. Turn the tie rod whichever direction is needed until you
have a front measurement of 1/32" to 1/16" less than the
back measurement.
4. Hold the tie rod and tighten the locknuts on each end.
5. Measure again to make sure the toe-in measurement has
not moved.
6. Tighten the locking clamp bolts while holding clamp
between the marks you previously put on the tie rod.
7. Reassemble the rest of the Kar Kaddy unit.
Have the tongue in a "hooked-up position with the ball
coupler 18" off the ground. Jack up the axle just enough to
allow you to take the wheels off and put blocks under the axle.
Take the wheels off.
Find two 24" long bars, these could be a level, a square or
a straight piece of iron bar. Clamp one bar tight to the face of
each hub with 12" extending forward and backward of the
center of the spindle. The bars must be parallel to the platform
the car sits on. Measure across the back end of the bars and
then across the front end. The front measurement should be
1/32" to 1/16" less than the back measurement. If the unit
needs to be adjusted, this must be done by adjusting the tie rod.
