Front Toe Inspection/Adjustment

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 Honda Odyssey, 2016 Honda Odyssey, 2015 Honda Odyssey, 2014 Honda Odyssey, and 2013 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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

NOTE: Do the rear toe inspection/adjustment before the front toe inspection/adjustment.
  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.
