  1. Start with ADJUSTING REAR TOE ANGLE  if not already done.
  2. Fasten the steering wheel in its straight ahead position.
  3. Undo the lock nut on the track rod.
  4. Rotate the track rod clockwise to reduce the toe angle or anti-clockwise to increase the toe angle. Read off the value and compare it with Wheel alignment.
    IMPORTANT: Make sure the boot does not rotate as well.
  5. Tighten the lock nut.

    Tightening torque 70 Nm (55 lbf ft) 

  6. Check the track rod length by measuring the distance (A) between the lock nut and the groove in the track rod by the dust excluder. The distance must be max. 149 mm.
