Checking And Adjusting Front Toe-In

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING FRONT TOE-IN




1. Set the steering wheel in the center position.

NOTE: The steering gear is in the center position when the separating joint of the steering coupling and the marking notch on the steering gear are above each other. Offset the steering wheel by a maximum of one tooth, if necessary.

2. Check the center position of the steering gear and steering wheel.

NOTE: The flexible mount of the control arms results in a correspondingly large toe-in value which reduces to the correct dimension in the ready-to-drive condition

3. Install a steering wheel spreader on the inside of the steering wheel in the forward direction of travel.

NOTE: After adjusting toe-in, check rubber boot on inner joint for twisting.

4. Adjust the toe-in by rotating the tie rods. Tighten the lock nut to 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.).
- Negative Toe (Toe Out) 1 is greater than 2.
- Positive Toe (Toe In) 1 is greater than 2.
