- 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.
Check the following items when turning angle is out of the standard.
1. Check the neutral position of the rack stroke (L).
  Rack stroke neutral position (L): Refer to "RACK STROKE ".
