Total Toe-In Inspection

Measure the total toe-in using the following procedure.

1. Bounce the front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push on the rear wheel to move the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of each tire at the same height of hub center. These are measuring points.

5. Push on the rear wheel to move the vehicle slowly ahead and to rotate the wheels 180 degrees (1/2 turn).
   CAUTION:

   If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), try the above procedure again from the beginning. Do not push vehicle backward.

6. Measure the distance (B) from the front side.
7. Use the formula below to calculate total toe-in.

   Total toe-in	: A - B
   Total toe-in specification	: Refer to WHEEL ALIGNMENT (UNLADEN * 1) .

   • If the total toe-in is outside the specification, adjust the total toe-in. Refer to ADJUSTMENT .
