When the calibrated value is outside the standard value, improper toe-in adjustment may be present. Check and adjust the toe-in correctly if necessary.
Standard value: 1 ± 2 mm (0.04 ± 0.09 inch)

To adjust the toe-in, remove the clip of the tie-rod, loosen the locking nut, and then rotate the left tie-rod and right tie-rod in the reverse direction by an equal amount.
Recheck the steering angle.
