FRONT TOE

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

1. Check the tire pressure.
2. Center the steering wheel spokes.
3. Check the toe with the wheels pointed straight ahead. Front toe: 0 ± 2 mm (0 ± 1/16inch) -0.06 to +0.06 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, then 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.
