- Bounce the rear of the vehicle up and down two to three times to stabilize the vehicle height. Refer to "WHEELARCH HEIGHT (UNLADEN*) ".
- Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).

- Measure the distance "A" (rear side) across from tire to tire.
- Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180° degrees (a half turn).
If the wheels are rotated more than 180° degrees (a half turn), then repeat the above steps. Never push the vehicle backward.
- Measure the distance "B" (front side) across from tire to tire.
Total toe-in : Refer to "WHEEL ALIGNMENT ".
- If the toe-in is outside the specified value, adjust the toe-in using the adjusting bolt in the rear lower link.CAUTION: Be sure to adjust equally on the RH and LH sides using the adjusting bolt.NOTE: Toe changes about 1.5 mm (0.059 in) [one side] with each graduation of the adjusting bolt.
- Tighten the adjusting bolt nuts to specification.
