Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

2. Check the toe. The left and right side should be equal.

Front toe-in: 0 ± 2 mm (0 ± 0.08 in.)
^

If adjustment is required, go to step 3.

^

If no adjustment is required, go to rear toe inspection/adjustment.

3. Loosen the tie-rod locknuts (A) while holding the flat surface sections (B) of the tie-rod end with a wrench, and turn both rack ends (C) until the

front toe is within specifications.

4. After adjusting, tighten the tie-rod locknuts. Reposition the rack-rod boot if it is twisted or displaced.
5. Go to rear toe inspection/adjustment.

Rear Toe Inspection/Adjustment

Use commercially available computerized four wheel alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment (caster, camber, toe, and turning angle).
Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
1. Release the parking brake to avoid an incorrect measurement.
2. Check the toe.

Rear toe-in:

2WD: 2 ± 2 mm (0.08 ± 0.08 in.)
4WD: 0 ± 2 mm (0 ± 0.08 in.)

^

If adjustment is required, go to step 3.

^

If no adjustment is required, remove the alignment equipment.

3. Hold the adjusting bolt (A) on the rear lower arm B, and loosen the self-locking nut (C).
