Front Wheel Toe-In: Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Subaru Impreza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Loosen the left and right side steering tie-rods lock nuts.
  2. Turn the left and right tie rods 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 equal amounts (as viewed from the inside of the vehicle).
