2. Loosen the tie rod locknut.





3. Turn the tie rod to provide the correct maximum steering angle. Maximum left/right difference is 3 mm (0.12 inch).





4. After adjustment, tighten the locknut to 35 - 50 Nm (26 - 36 ft. lbs.).
5. Adjust the toe-in.
6. Verify that the boot is not twisted, and install the boot clamp.

CAMBER ADJUSTMENT
1. Jack up the vehicle and remove the wheel and tire.





2. Replace the bolt shown with an adjusting bolt.
3. Adjust the camber by moving the shock absorber and the knuckle.
4. Tighten the nut to 103 - 126 Nm (76.0 - 93.3 ft. lbs.).
5. Lower the vehicle after installing the wheel and tire.
6. Inspect the camber.

TOTAL TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust the steering angle.





2. Remove the steering gear boot clamp.
3. Loosen the left and right tie rod locknuts and turn the tie rods equally. Both tie rods are right threaded, so turning the right tie rod toward the front of the vehicle and the left toward the rear increases toe-in.

NOTE: Turning both tie rods one complete turn changes toe-in by about 12 mm (0.47 inch).





4. Tighten the tie rod locknuts to 35 - 50 Nm (26 - 36 ft. lbs.).
