1. Toe is adjusted by changing the tie rod length. Loosen right and left tie rod end lock nuts first and then rotate right and left tie rods by the same

amount to align toe-in to specification. In this adjustment, right and left tie rods should become equal in length ("A" in figure).

NOTE:  Before rotating tie rods, apply grease between tie rods and rack boots so that boots won't be twisted.

2. After adjustment, tighten lock nuts to specified torque and make sure that rack boots are not twisted.

Tightening Torque: (a): 45 Nm (33.0 ft. lbs.)
