Toe Inspection and Adjustment

  1. Check toe with toe-in gauge. Refer to "FRONT END ALIGNMENT CONSTRUCTION " for specified value. It is out of specification, adjust it as follows.
  2. Toe is adjusted by changing 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 to specification.
  3. In this adjustment, right and left tie-rods should become equal in length.

    After adjustment, tighten lock nuts to specified torque.
