Toe-In

1. Toe is the turning in or out of the front wheels. The purpose of a toe specification is to ensure parallel rolling of the front wheels (Excessive toe-in or toe-out may increase tire wear). Amount of toe can be obtained by subtracting "A" from "B" as shown in above figure and therefore is given in mm (inch).





2. Toe is adjusted by changing the tie rod length. Loosen right and left tie rod end lock nuts first and then rotate right and left tie rods by the same amount to align toe-in to specification. In this adjustment, right and left tie rods should become equal in length ("A" in figure).

NOTE: Before rotating tie rods, apply grease between tie rods and rack boots so that boots won't be twisted.

3. After adjustment, tighten lock nuts to specified torque and make sure that rack boots are not twisted.
Tightening Torque: (a): 45 Nm (33.0 ft. lbs.)
