Inspection
1. Using a toe-in gauge, measure the rear wheel toe-in.
Toe-in: -1 ±2 mm (-0.039 ±0.079 inch)
2. Mark the rear sides of left and right tires at height corresponding to the center of spindles and measure distance "A" between marks.
3. Move the vehicle forward so that the marks line up with front sides at height corresponding to the center of spindles.
4. Measure the distance "B" between left and right marks. Toe-in can then be obtained by the following equation:
A - B = Toe-in
