Toe-In

TOE-IN
1. Bounce the rear of the vehicle up and down two to three times to stabilize the vehicle height.
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).





3. Put a mark on the base line of the tread (rear side) of both of the tires at the same height as the center of the hub. This will be the measuring points.
4. Measure the distance "A" (rear side) across from tire to tire.





5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180 degrees (a half turn).
If the wheels are rotated more than 180 degrees (a half turn), then repeat the above steps. Never push the vehicle backward.
6. Measure the distance "B" (front side) across from tire to tire.





7. If the toe-in is outside the specified value, adjust the toe-in using the adjusting bolt in the rear lower link.

CAUTION: Be sure to adjust equally on RH and LH sides using the adjusting bolt.

NOTE: Toe changes about 1.5 mm (0.059 in) [one side] with each graduation of the adjusting bolt.

8. Tighten the adjusting bolt nuts to specification.
