Steering Angle





When tie rod or tie rod end was replaced, check toe and then also steering angle with turning radius gauge. If steering angle is not correct, check if right and left tie rods are equal in length ("A").

NOTE: If tie rod lengths were changed to adjust steering angle, reinspect toe-in.

Steering angle:
Inside: 39° ± 3°
Outside: 34° ± 3°

Reference Information:
Side slip: For inspecting front wheel side slip with side slip tester:
Side slip limit: Less than 3 mm/m (Less than 0.118 inch/3.3 ft.)
If side slip exceeds above limit, toe-in or front wheel alignment may not be correct.
