      Toe-in 

    TOE-IN SPECIFICATION

    Toe-in (total) -
    A + B: 0° +- 24' (0° +- 0.4°)
    C-D: 4 +- 2 mm (0.16 +- 0.08 in.)

    If the toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary.

  4. ADJUST TOE-IN 
    1. Measure the lengths of the right and left rear No. 2 suspension arms.

      Difference in the length between the right and left rear No. 2 suspension arms: 

      1.5 mm (0.06 in.) or less 

      If the left-right difference is larger than 1.5 mm (0.06 in.), adjust it by following the procedures below.

    2. Loosen the lock nuts.
    3. Turn the right and left adjusting tubes by an equal amount to adjust toe-in.

      HINT:
