5. Rotate the front A-arm to the desired position
(refer to the note below) and replace the ride
height adjustment bolt (Figure 42).
Note: The A-arms are made with rubber
and have different spring rates. Because of
the different spring rates, the A-arms come
adjusted from the factory based on that spring
rate. Generally the adjustment bolts will be
installed in hole number 2, 3, or 4 (Figure 43)
and it may be different from the left side (driver
side) to the right side (passenger side). If the
A-arms look like they are sagging, then they
should be adjusted to the next higher number
(Figure 43). Each hole equals about 3/4 inch
(19 mm) of adjustment at the wheel. You will
also need to do this if you are adding heavy
attachments or carrying heavy loads often.

the ground on that side to install the bolt.
8. Tighten and torque the centering bolts to
240-290 ft-lb (325-393 N⋅m).

the dimensions and parameters given at the
beginning of this procedure.
Adjusting Front Wheel
Toe-In
Check the front wheel toe-in after every
100 operating hours, or annually, whichever occurs
first.
The toe-in should be 1/8-5/8 inch (3-16 mm) with
the following parameters:
• The tire pressure should be at 12 psi (83 kPa).
• The ride height should be correct before
setting the toe-in; refer to Adjusting the Front
Suspension.
• The vehicle should be driven back and forth a
few times to relax the A-arms.
• Measure the toe-in with the wheels facing
straight ahead and a 175-225 lb (79-102 kg)
operator in the driver's seat.
