3. After adjustment, tighten right and left nuts to specified torque while holding cam bolt with another wrench to prevent it from turning.
Tightening torque (a): 90 Nm (9.0 kgf-m. 65.0 ft. lbs.)
Reference Information
Side slip limit
When checked with side slip tester, side slip should satisfy following specification.
Side slip limit IN: 2.5 ± 1.5 mm/m (0.098 ± 0.059 in/3.3 ft)
If side slip exceeds the limit, toe or front wheel alignment may not be correct.
