5. INSPECT TOE-IN
Toe-in:
Toe-in
(total)A + B: 0° ± 12' (0° ± 0.2°)
C - D: 0 ± 2 mm (0 ± 0.08 in.)
If the toe-in is not within the specified value, adjust it at the rack
ends.
6. ADJUST TOE-IN
(a) Remove the rack boot set clips.
(b) Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.
(c) Turn the right and left rack ends by an equal amount to
adjust the toe-in.
HINT:
Try to adjust the toe-in to the center of the specified value.
(d) Make sure that the lengths of the right and left rack ends
are the same.
Rack end length difference: 1.5 mm (0.059 in.) or less
(e) Torque the tie rod end lock nuts.
Torque: 74 N´m (750 kgf´cm, 54 ft´lbf)
(f) Place the boots on the seats and install the clips.
