Front Wheel Alignment
FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
When using commercially available computerized four wheel alignment equipment (caster, camber, toe and turning angle) to inspect the front wheel
alignment, position the wheels straight ahead and always confirm tires are inflated to the specified pressure. Prior to inspection, make sure that the front
suspension and steering system are in normal operating condition.
TOE-IN
Toe-in (B-A or angle of) is adjusted by turning the tie rod turnbuckles. Toe-in on the left front wheel can be reduced by turning the tie rod toward the
front of the car. Toe change is achieved by turning the tie rod for the right and left wheels by the same amount simultaneously as follows:
Standard value
Toe-in (B-A):.............................0 ± 3 mm (0 ± 0.12 inch)
NOTE: Toe-in adjustment should be made by fuming the right and left tie rods by the same amount.
When adjusting toe-in, loosen the outer bellows clip to prevent twisting the bellows.
After the adjustment, tighten the tie rod end lock nuts firmly and reinstall the bellows clip.
