Toe-In

NOTE: Use commercially-available computerized four wheel alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment (caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

1. Check the tire pressure.
2. Center steering wheel spokes.
3. Check the toe with the wheels pointed straight ahead. Front toe: (0 ± 2 mm/0 ± 0.08 inch) -.08 to +.08 inch.
a. If adjustment is required, go on to step 4.
b. If no adjustment is required, remove alignment equipment.
4. Loosen the tie-rod locknuts and turn both tie-rods in the same direction until the front wheels are in straight ahead position.
5. Turn both tie-rods equally until the toe reading on the turning radius gauge is correct.
6. After adjusting, tighten the tie-rod locknuts.





NOTE: Reposition the tie-rod boot if it is twisted or displaced.
