■Inspecting and Adjusting the Toe-in

Poorly adjusted toe-in can cause difficulty in steering action or abnormal sway of the steering wheel. Measure the dimensions A and B on the front wheels, and check that the dimensional difference “A-B” falls in a range of

0.16to 0.31 in. (4 to 8 mm). Otherwise, loosen the locknuts on the right and left tie-rod ends, and adjust the length of threaded portions. When the toe-in falls in the range of 0.16 to 0.31 in. (4 to 8 mm), secure this adjustment by retightening the locknuts.

In other words, make a mark at the same point (e.g.; center line of tire) on the front of both front tires. Make a mark at the comparable point on the rear of the each front tire.

Measure the distance between the marks on the front of the tire (measurement B). Then measure the distance between the marks on the rear of the tire (measurement A).

The measurement B should be 0.16 to 0.31 in. (4 to 8 mm) less than measurement A.
