Total Toe-in Adjustment
1. Center the steering wheel and confirm that the vehicle wheels/tires are pointing straight.
2. Loosen the left and right tie-rod end locknuts and turn the tie-rods equally. Both tie rods are right threaded, so
turning the right tie-rod toward the front of the vehicle and the left toward the rear increases toe-in.
Note
•Turning both tie-rods one complete turn changes toe-in by about 6 mm {0.24 in} (0°36').
3. Tighten the tie-rod end locknuts to the specified torque.

2. Remove all cargo and drive the vehicle, with only the driver aboard, for 1 km {0.62 miles} or more. After
driving, verify that the rear vehicle height (distance measured from the fender brim to the center of the wheel) is
360 mm {14.2 in} or more
*. If not as specified, replace the rear shock absorbers.
3. Place a load equivalent to five people riding in
order to make the rear vehicle height to be 330
mm {13.0 in} or less.
4. Immediately after driving the vehicle for 5 km {3.0
miles} or more, under the same load conditions,
verify that the rear vehicle height is 335 mm {13.2
in} or more. If not as specified replace the rear
shock absorbers.
*: Indicates rear vehicle height with fuel tank full.
Height will vary 6—8 mm {0.24—0.31 in} between a
full and empty fuel tank.
