Front Wheel Alignment Check And Adjustment: Toe-In

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Standard value: 3.5 (+) 3.5 mm (0.14 (+) 0.14 inch)

CAUTION:

Take care when turning the tie rod end's outer side, as the threads are reversed.
Make sure that the left/right difference of the tie rod does not exceed 5 mm (0.20 inch).

If the toe-in is not within the standard value, adjust the toe-in by turning the left and right tie rod turnbuckles by the same amount (in opposite directions).

NOTE: The toe will move out as the left turnbuckle is turned toward the front of the vehicle and the right turnbuckle is turned toward the rear of the vehicle.
Use a turning radius gauge to check that the steering angle is at the standard value. (Refer to STEERING ANGLE CHECK ).
