*1  :Engine coolant and engine oil are at specified level. Spare tire, jack and tools are in designated position.
*2  :Difference between left and right must not exceed 1°30′.

Maximum Steering Angle Adjustment

1.  Loosen the tie-rod end locknuts.

2.  Remove the steering gear boot clamp.

3.  Turn the tie rods.

Standard length A
10.5—24.5 mm {0.414—0.964 in}

4.  Turn the tie rods equally to provide the correct maximum steering angle.

5.  Tighten the tie-rod end locknuts.

Tightening torque
69—98 N·m {7.1—9.9 kgf·m, 51—72 ft·lbf}

6.  Verify that the boot is not twisted, and install the boot clamp.

7.  Adjust the toe-in after adjusting the steering angle.


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
69—98 N·m {7.1—9.9 kgf·m, 51—72 ft·lbf}

4.  Verify that the boot is not twisted, and install the boot clamp.
