CAUTION: When the steering wheel is turned to lock, check that the clearance between the knuckle and the stopper is 1 mm (0.04 inch) or more.





2. Check that the toe-in is within the standard value. If the steering angle is outside the standard value, adjust the toe-in.

Standard value: 3.5 ± 3.5 mm (0.14 ± 0.14 inch)
