Front Toe Inspection/Adjustment

Use commercially available computerized four wheel alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment (caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

  1. Set the steering column to the middle tilt position and telescopic positions. Center the steering wheel spokes, and install a steering wheel holder tool.
  2. Check the toe with the wheels pointed straight ahead.

    Front toe-in: 0±2 mm (0±0.08 in) 

    • If adjustment is required, go to step 3.
    • If no adjustment is required, remove the alignment equipment.
  3. Loosen the tie-rod end locknuts (A) while holding the flat surface sections (B) of the tie-rod end with a wrench, and turn both tie-rods (C) until the front toe is within specifications.
