Toe-inNJSU0045S02Measure toe-in using the following procedure.
WARNING:
+Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface.
+Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before
pushing it.
1. Bounce front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture.
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of tread (rear side) of both tires at the
same height as hub center. These are measuring points.
SFA234AC
4. Measure distance ªAº (rear side).
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180
degrees (1/2 turn).
If the 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 ªBº (front side).
Total toe-in:
Refer to SDS, SU-14.
SFA486A
7. Adjust toe-in by varying the length of steering tie-rods.
a. Loosen lock nuts.
b. Adjust toe-in by screwing tie-rods in and out.
Standard length ªLº:
Refer to ST-35, ªSDSº.
c. Tighten lock nuts to specified torque.
Lock nut tightening torque:
Refer to ST-16, ªPOWER STEERING GEAR AND
LINKAGEº.

Front Wheel Turning AngleNJSU0045S031. Set wheels in straight-ahead position. Then move vehicle for-
ward until front wheels rest on turning radius gauge properly.
2. Rotate steering wheel all the way right and left; measure turn-
ing angle.
Do not hold the steering wheel on full lock for more than
15 seconds.
Wheel turning angle (Full turn):
Refer to SDS, SU-14.
