   If the toe-in is not within the specified value, adjust it at the rack ends.

1. Remove the rack boot set clips.
2. Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.
3. Turn the right and left rack ends by an equal amount to adjust the toe-in.
   NOTE: Try to adjust the toe-in to the center of the specified value.
4. Make sure that the lengths of the right and left rack ends are the same.

5. Torque the tie rod end lock nuts.
   1. Torque: 74 N.m (755 kgf.cm, 55 ft.lbf) 
6. Place the boots on the seats and install the clips.
   NOTE: Make sure that the boots are not twisted.

1. Turn the steering wheel fully and measure the turning angle.

      If the caster and steering axis inclination are not within the specified values, after the camber has been correctly adjusted, re-check the suspension parts for damaged and/or worn out parts.

1. Remove the front wheel.
2. Remove the 2 nuts on the lower side of the shock absorber.

6. Tighten the nuts.
   1. Torque: 210 N.m (2,141 kgf.cm, 155 ft.Ibf) 
      NOTE: When installing nut, stop the bolt from rotating and torque the nut.
7. Install the front wheel.
   1. Torque: 103 N.m (1,050 kgf.cm, 76 ft.Ibf) 
8. Check the camber.
   NOTE:

   • Try to adjust the camber to the center of the specified value.
   • Adjusting value for the set bolts is 6' - 30' (0.1° - 0.5°).

   If the camber is not within the specified value, using the following table, estimate how much additional camber adjustment will be required, and select the camber adjusting bolt.

   NOTE: Tighten the adjusting bolt with a washer and a new nut.
