Alignment: Service and Repair
Front Toe Adjustment
Total Toe-in Adjustment
1. Center the steering wheel and confirm that the vehicle wheels/tires are pointing straight.
2. Remove the steering gear boot clamp.
3. Loosen the left and right tie rod locknuts and turn the tie rods equally. Both tie rods are right threaded, so turning the right tie rod toward the front
of the vehicle and the left toward the rear increases toe-in.
Note: Turning both tie rods one complete turn changes toe-in by about 6 mm (0.24 inch) (0°36').
4. Tighten the tie rod locknuts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque 68.7 - 98.0 Nm (7.0 - 10.0 kgf.m, 50.7 - 72.3 ft. lbs.)
5. Verify that the boot is not twisted, and install the boot clamp.
