Adjustment1) Loosen right and left tie-rod end lock nuts (1) first.
2) Rotate right and left tie-rods (2) by the same amount  to align toe to specification. In this adjustment, the 
lengths “A” of both right and left tie-rod should be 
equal.
NOTE
Before rotating tie-rods (2), apply grease 
between tie-rods and rack boots so that 
boots won’t be twisted.
 
3) After adjustment, tighten lock nuts (1) to specified torque.
