•  Difference between the left and right dimension for camber and caster is within 1°.

Steering Angle Adjustment

1.  Loosen the locknut of the tie-rod end.

2.  Remove the rack boot clamp.

3.  Rotate the tie rod and adjust the steering angle.

3 mm {0.12 in} or less

4.  Tighten the locknut of the tie-rod end.

Tightening torque
37.0—49.0 N·m {3.78—4.99 kgf·m, 27.3—36.1 ft·lbf}

5.  Correct the rack boot deformation.

6.  Install and fix the rack boot clamp.

7.  After adjusting the steering angle, always inspect and adjust the toe angle. (See Total Toe-in Adjustment.)


Camber Adjustment

Caution
•  Adjust the camber before adjusting the caster.

1.  Loosen the fixing nut of the adjusting cam bolt (front lower arm front side).

3.  Tighten the nut.

Tightening torque

4.  Adjust the camber and total toe-in.


Total Toe-in Adjustment

1.  Loosen the locknut of the tie-rod end.

2.  Remove the rack boot clamp.

3.  Adjust the total toe-in by rotating each tie rod (left and right) in the opposite directions by the same amount respectively.

Total Toe-in Standard
2±4 mm {0.08±0.15 in} (0°11′±21′)
Note
•  Toe angle changes by approx. 5 mm {0.2 in} per one rotation of the tie rod for one wheel.
•  Each tie rod has a left-hand thread. When increasing the toe-in angle, rotate the right tie rod toward the rear of the vehicle, and rotate the left tie rod toward the front of the vehicle by the same amount.

4.  Tighten the locknut of the tie-rod end.

Tightening torque
37.0—49.0 N·m {3.78—4.99 kgf·m, 27.3—36.1 ft·lbf}

5.  Verify that the rack boot does not have any twisting, and install the rack boot clamp.
