3.5. With the steering rack centered, the steering
wheel spokes should be visually centered. If
they are not, this must be dealt with when setting
the toe angle.
3.6. Tie a 10’ length of string to each side of the front
bumper or brush guard, at roughly the same
height as the center of the front wheel.
See Figure 3.6.
3.7. Tuck the black rubber mud flaps on all four fend-
ers into the wheel wells.
3.8. Draw the string down the outside edge of the
tire, making light contact with the outside of the
tire level with the floor of the Big Country vehicle.
See Figure 3.8.
NOTE: The height of the vehicle floor roughly
corresponds with the height of the front wheel
hub.
3.9. On each side, measure the distance from the
string to the outer edge of the floor just behind
the front fender and just in front of the rear
fender. See Figure 3.9.
3.10. On each side, the difference between the front
measurement and the rear measurement is the
toe angle. See Figure 3.10.
NOTE: The string will yield an exaggerated mea-
surement of the toe. A string-indicated toe-out of
1/4” does not mean that the wheels are toed-out
1/4”. Toe measurements taken at the wheel will
be less.
