Check the steering angle of the wheels.

Standard of steering angle:

Inner wheel	Outer wheel
36.3°±1.5°	32.0°±1.5°

If the steering wheel spokes are not horizontal when wheels are set in the straight ahead position, or error is more than 5° on the periphery of the steering wheel, correctly re-install the steering wheel.

If the steering wheel spokes are not horizontal with vehicle set in the straight ahead position after this adjustment, correct it by turning the right and left tie-rods in the opposite direction from each other by the same angle.
