(c) Turn the left and right rack ends an equal amount to adjust
the toe-in.
HINT:
Make sure that the lengths of the left and right rack ends
are the same.
Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value.
Rack end length difference:
1.5 mm (0.059 in.) or less
(d) Tighten the tie rod end lock nut.

7. INSPECT WHEEL ANGLE
Turn the steering wheel fully and measure the turning angle.
2JZ-GE2JZ-GTE
Inside wheel35°00' (33°00' - 36°00')
35° (33° - 36°)34°55' (33°55' - 36°55')
34.92° (32.92° - 35.92°)
Outside wheel
30°45'
(30.75°)30°35'
(30.58°)
If the wheel angle are not within the specifications, check to see
if the lengths of the left and right rack ends are the same.
HINT:
If the tie rods lengths are not equal, the wheel angle cannot be
adjusted properly. Reinspect the toe-in after adjusting the tie
rods lengths.

6. HOW TO READ ADJUSTMENT CHART
(a) Mark on the graph the measurements taken from vehicle.
Example (2JZ-GTE):
Camber (LH): -1°00' (-1°)
Camber (RH): -1°30' (-1.5°)
(b) Read from the graph the amounts of the front and/or rear
cam to be adjusted.
Amount to turn adjusting cam (by graduation)
LH Front cam: + (Longer) 1.1
LH Rear cam: + (Longer) 3.0
RH Front cam: - (Shorter) 1.0
RH Rear cam: + (Longer) 0.9
