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.

    Tightening torque 

    1. 68.6-98.0 N.m {7.00-9.99 kgf.m, 50.6-72.2 ft.lbf} 
  4. Verify that the boot is not twisted, and install the boot clamp.
