NOTES:
- Total toe is the arithmetic total sum of the left and right wheel toe settings. Positive is toe-in, negative is toe-out. Total toe must be equally split between each front wheel to ensure the steering wheel is centered after setting toe. Left and right toe must be equal to within 0.10°.

- All alignment specifications are given with full fluids, no cargo, no passengers.
