(b) Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.
(c) Turn the right and left rack ends by an equal amount to
adjust the toe±in.
HINT:
Try to adjust the toe±in to the center of the specified value.
(d) Make sure that the lengths of the right and left rack ends
are the same.
Rack end length difference: 1.5 mm (0.059 in.) or less
(e) Torque the tie rod end lock nuts.
Torque: 74 N´m (750 kgf´cm, 54 ft´lbf)
(f) Place the boots on the seats and using pliers, install the
clips.
HINT:
Make sure that the boots are not twisted.
7. INSPECT WHEEL ANGLE
Turn the steering wheel fully, and measure the turning angle.
Wheel turning angle:
Inside wheel35°50' ± 2° (35.84° ± 2°)
Outside wheel: Reference31°28' (31.47°)
If the right and left inside wheel angles differ from the specified
value, check the right and left rack end lengths.
