If the steering angle is not within the standard value, adjust the toe as follows.
Standard value: 0 +/- 3 mm (0 +/- 0.12 inch)
1. Loosen the jam nut, and unclip the bellows.
2. Adjust the toe 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 turn buckle is turned toward the front of the vehicle and the right turn buckle is turned toward the rear of the vehicle.
3. Tighten the jam nut to the specified torque, and tighten the bellows by the clip.
  Tightening torque: 52 +/- 2 N.m (38 +/- 2 ft-lb)
Recheck the steering angle.
