  2. If the steering angle is not within the standard value, adjust the toe-in.

    Standard value: 0 +/- 3 mm (0 +/- 0.12 inch) 

  3. Adjust the toe-in by undoing the clip and 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.
