grease and other substances.
•When installing the DOJ boot, position the outer
race of DOJ at center of the stroke.
13) Put a new band through the clip and wind twice
in the band groove of the boot.
14) Pinch the end of band with pliers. Hold the clip
and tighten securely.
NOTE:
When tightening boot, use care so that the air with-
in the boot is appropriate.
15) Tighten the band using the ST.
ST 925091000 BAND TIGHTENING TOOL
NOTE:
Tighten the band until it cannot be moved by hand.
16) Tap the clip with the punch provided at the end
of the ST.
ST 925091000 BAND TIGHTENING TOOL
NOTE:
Tap to an extent that the boot underneath is not
damaged.
17) Cut off the band with an allowance of about 10
mm (0.39 in) left from the clip and bend this allow-
ance over the clip.
NOTE:
Be careful so that the end of the band is in close
contact with clip.
18) Install the EBJ boot using the same procedures
as for the DOJ boot.
19) Extend and retract the DOJ repeatedly to pro-
vide an equal coating of grease.
E: INSPECTION

4. STEERING ANGLE
•INSPECTION
•ADJUSTMENT
1) Turn the tie-rod to adjust the steering angle of
both inner and outer wheels.
2) Check the toe–in.
NOTE:
Correct the boot if it is twisted.
5. FRONT WHEEL TOE–IN
•INSPECTION
Toe-in:
0±3 mm (0±0.12 in)
1) Set the toe-in gauge in the position at wheel axis
center height behind the right and left front tires.
2) Place a mark at the center of both left and right
tires, and measure distance “A” between the
marks.
3) Move the vehicle forward to rotate the tires 180°.
NOTE:
Be sure to rotate the tires in the forward direction.
4) Measure distance “B” between the left and right
marks. Find toe–in using the following equation:
A – B = Toe–in
•ADJUSTMENT
When adjusting the toe-in, adjust it to the following
value.
Toe-in:
0±2 mm (0±0.08 in)
1) Check that the left and right wheel steering an-
gles are within specification.
2) Loosen the left and right side steering tie–rod
lock nuts.
3) Turn the left and right tie–rods by 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 by equal amount (viewing from the inside
of vehicle).
4) Tighten the tie–rod lock nut.
Tightening torque:
85 N·m (8.7 kgf-m, 62.7 ft-lb)
NOTE:
Check and correct the tie rod boot if twisted.
6. REAR WHEEL TOE–IN
•INSPECTION
Toe-in:
2±2 mm (0.08±0.08 in)
