If values exceed the tolerances, the vehicle's transverse inclination must be checked and corrected if necessary → Chapter.
–  Loosen lock nut -1-.
   
–  Adjust toe by turning left and/or right track rod.
To do this use an open jaw spanner on the hexagon -arrow- on the track rod.
After turning track rods, ensure that boots are not twisted.
Twisted boots wear out quickly.
–  Tighten lock nut -1- to 50 Nm and check toe again.
Tightening lock nut -1- may change the value slightly.
If the set value does not deviate by more than 2′ from specification, the setting is OK.
