      Toe-in 

      TOE-IN SPECIFICATION

      Toe-in (total) -

      C - D:
      0°24' +-12' (0.40° + 0.20°)
      4 +- 2 mm (0.16 +- 0.08 in.)

      HINT:

      • Measure "C - D" only when "A + B" cannot be measured.
      • If toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary.
