5. FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN 

^

INSPECTION 

Toe-in: 0 ± 3 mm (0 ± 0.12 inch) 
1. Set the toe-in gauge in the position at wheel axis center height behind the right and left front tires.
2. Place a mark at the center of both left and right tires, and measure distance A between the marks.
3. Move the vehicle forward to rotate the tires 180°. 

NOTE:  Be sure to rotate the tires in the forward direction.

4. Measure distance B between the left and right marks. Find toe-in using the following equation: 

A - B = Toe-in

ADJUSTMENT 

When adjusting the toe-in, adjust it to the following value.
Toe-in: 0 ± 2 mm (0 ± 0.08 inch) 
1. Check that the left and right wheel steering angles are within specification.
2. Loosen the left and right side steering tie-rod lock nuts.
3. Turn the left and right tie-rods by equal amounts until the toe-in is at the specification. Both the left and right tie-rods are right-hand threaded. To

increase toe-in, turn both tie-rods clockwise by equal amount (viewing from the inside of vehicle).

4. Tighten the tie-rod lock nut.

Tightening torque: 85 Nm (8.7 kgf-m, 62.7 ft. lbs.) 

NOTE:  Check and correct the tie rod boot if twisted.
