^
Inspection
Toe-in: 0 ± 3 mm (0 ± 10.12 inch)
1) Set the toe-in gauge to rear sides of right and left front tires at height corresponding to center of spindle.
2) Mark each right and left tires at height corresponding to center of spindle and measure the distance "A" between marks.
3) Move the vehicle forward to rotate wheels 180°.
NOTE: Whenever rotating the wheels, drive the vehicle forward.
4) Measure the distance "B" between right and left marks. Toe-in can then be obtained by the following equation:
A - B = Toe-in
^
Adjustment
1) Make sure that the right and left steering angles are within specified value.
2) Loosen the right and left side steering tie-rods lock nuts.
3) Turn the right and left tie rods equal amounts until the toe-in is at the specification.
Both the right and left tie-rods are right-hand threaded. To increase toe-in, turn both tie-rods clockwise equal amounts (as viewed from inside
of the vehicle).
4) Tighten the tie-rod lock nut.
