Toe (Total)

Measure toe angle with a toe angle gauge per manufacturer's instructions.
If measurement does not meet specification, loosen left and right tie rod lock nuts, then turn each tie rod as needed to achieve proper toe angle.
NOTE:
- Left and right tie rods are right hand threaded. To decrease toe angle thread right and left side tie rods into tie rod ends. To increase toe-in, unthread tie rods.
- One full turn of both tie rods changes toe-in by about 0.24 in. (6 mm).
- It may be necessary to rotate one tie rod more than the other in order to achieve the proper toe angle and still retain a straight steering wheel.
