Adjustment
1) Loosen the left and right side steering tie-rods lock nuts.
2) Turn the left and right tie rods equal amounts until the
toe-in is at the specification.
Both the left and right tie-rods are right-hand threaded. To
increase toe-in, turn both tie-rods clockwise equal amounts
(as viewed from the inside of the vehicle).
3) Tighten tie-rod lock nut.
Tightening torque:
83±5 N⋅m (8.5±0.5 kg-m, 61.5±3.6 ft-lb)

4. REAR WHEEL TOE-IN (FWD MODEL)

Inspection
1) Using a toe-in gauge, measure rear wheel toe-in.
Toe-in: 0±3 mm (0±0.12 in)
2) Mark rear sides of left and right tires at height corre-
sponding to center of spindles and measure distance“B”
between marks.
3) Move vehicle forward so that marks line up with front
sides at height corresponding to center of spindles.
4) Measure distance“A”between left and right marks.
Toe-in can then be obtained by the following equation:
BA = Toe-in
