Total Toe-In Adjustment

Total Toe-in Adjustment
1. Center the steering wheel and confirm that the vehicle wheels/tires are pointing straight.
2. Loosen the left and right tie-rod end locknuts and turn the tie-rods equally. Both tie rods are right threaded, so turning the right tie-rod toward the front of the vehicle and the left toward the rear increases toe-in.

Note
^ Turning both tie-rods one complete turn changes toe-in by about 6 mm (0.24 in) (0°36").

3. Tighten the tie-rod end locknuts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque 68.6-98.0 N-m (7.00-9.99 kgf-m, 50.6-72.2 ft-lbf)
4. Verify that the boot is not twisted, and install the boot clamp.
