Checking/Adjusting Front Wheel Alignment - Toro UTV500AAC00000 Setup Instructions

NOTE: If the hole in the steering shaft does not
align with the slots in the castle nut, tighten the nut
slightly until the next slot aligns with the hole.
CHECKING/ADJUSTING FRONT
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
NOTE: All measurements and adjustments must
be made with the vehicle unloaded.
Mark the center-line of the front tires at the front and
rear of the tire; then using a tape measure, measure and
record the distance between the marks at the front and
rear. The front measurement should be 3-6 mm (1/8-1/4
in.) greater than the rear measurement (toe-out).
To adjust the wheel alignment, use the following procedure:
1. Center the steering wheel; then using an open-end
wrench to hold the tie rod ends (A), loosen the
right-side and left-side jam nuts (B).

loosening or tightening the jam nuts or damage to
the boots could occur.
2. Turn the left-side and right-side tie rods (C) in equal
increments to achieve the proper toe-out; then
tighten the jam nuts securely.
3. Check for free steering operation (full-left/full-right).
