   1. If the toe-in value deviates towards the inside, turn the adjusting tube of the shorter No. 1 suspension arm assembly in the direction which increases arm length until the difference between the left and right suspension arms is within the specification.
   2. If the toe-in value deviates towards the outside, turn the adjusting tube of the longer No. 1 suspension arm assembly in the direction which decreases arm length until the difference between the left and right suspension arms is within the specification.
   3. Measure the toe-in again.
4. Turn the left and right adjusting tubes in the same direction by the same amount to adjust the toe-in.

   Adjustment Value: 

   2.3 +-1.0 mm (0.0905 +-0.0394 in.) 

   HINT:

   • When the adjusting tube of the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly LH is turned one revolution in the direction of A in the illustration, the toe-in changes to the inside by approximately 3.7 mm (0.146 in.).
   • When the adjusting tube of the rear No. 1 suspension arm assembly LH is turned one revolution in the direction of B in the illustration, the toe-in changes to the outside by approximately 3.7 mm (0.146 in.).
5. Tighten the lock nuts of the adjusting tube.

   Torque: 56 N*m (571 kgf*cm, 41 ft.*lbf) 

   NOTE: Make sure to hold the adjusting tube at the width across flats when tightening the nuts.

   HINT:

   Tighten the 2 lock nuts of the adjusting tube on the other side using the same procedure.
