. Example;
A{ter the rear toe inspection, the wheel is 2 mm(0.08 inl out of the soecification.- Move the arm so the adjusting bolt moves 2 mm(0.08 inl inward from the position recorded betore theadjustment.- The distance the adjusting bolt is moved should be
equal to the amount out-of-specification.
