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. Center the steering wheel spokes and install a steering wheel holder tool.
  2. Check the toe. If it is not within the specification, go to step 3.

    Front toe-in: 0+/-2mm (0+/-1/16 in.) 

  3. Loosen the inner locknut (A) while holding the tie-rod arm (B), and loosen the outer locknut (C) while holding the tie-rod end (D).

  4. Turn the tie-rod adjuster bolt (E) until the toe is correct.
  5. After adjusting, tighten the locknuts while holding the tie-rod arm or tie-rod end. Make sure the arrow (A) on the tie-rod arm (B) and the aligning mark (C) on the tie-rod end (D) are in line, viewing from the wheelhouse side along the axial direction of the tie-rod, on both right and left side of the vehicle. Make sure the toe setting does not change.
