Toe-In Inspection

Measure toe-in using the following procedure.

1. Bounce the front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the vehicle height (posture).
2. Push vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at the same height of hub center. These are measuring points.

4. Measure distance (A) from rear side.
5. Push vehicle slowly ahead to rotate wheels 180 degrees (1/2 turn).
   CAUTION: If wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), try the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance (B) from front side.

7. Use the formula below to calculate total toe-in.

   Total toe-in = A - B 

   For total toe-in specification,  refer to "WHEEL ALIGNMENT (UNLADEN*) ".

   • If the total toe-in is outside the specification, adjust toe-in by varying the length between steering outer socket and inner socket.
