Front Wheel Turning Angle

Check front wheel turning angle after toe-in inspection. Refer to "INSPECTION " (2WD models), "INSPECTION " (AWD models).
Place front wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on stands, so that vehicle can be level.
Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for LH and RH road wheels.

Check the following items when turning angle is out of the standard.
1. Check the neutral position of the rack stroke (L).
  Standard
  
  L : Refer to "RACK STROKE ".
2. Disassemble steering gear assembly to check the cause that rack stroke is outside of the standard.
  - Steering angles are not adjustable. Check steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and front suspension components for wear or damage if any of the turning angles are different from the specified value. Replace any of them, if any non-standard condition exists.
