Front Toe-In

Fig. 3 Toe Setting:





As viewed from above, the wheels must be set so that distances A and B, Fig. 3, measured at wheel rims and at axle height, are different at a given value. If distance A is smaller than distance B, the setting is known as toe-in. If distance A is greater than distance B, the setting is known as toe-out. The toe setting is given in inches (mm) and refers to the difference between A and B. If distances A and B are the same, the toe setting is 0.

1. Adjust toe-in by undoing clips and turning left and right tie rod turnbuckles by same amount in opposite directions.
2. To increase toe-out, turn left turnbuckle toward front of vehicle and right turnbuckle toward rear of vehicle. To increase toe-in, turn turnbuckles in other direction. Toe-in is adjusted .24 inch on the Precis, and .48 inch on Mirage for each half turn of left and right tie rods.
3. After adjusting toe-in, check that steering wheel turning angle is within specifications.
