Example: After the rear toe inspection, the wheel is 2
mm (0.08 in) out of the specification.- Move the arm so the adjusting bolt moves 2 mm
{0.08 in) inward from the position recorded before the
adjustment.- The distance the adjusting bolt is moved should be
equal to the amount out-of-specification.
