Perform toe-in inspection. Refer to "INSPECTION " (2WD), "INSPECTION " (AWD).
CAUTION: Perform front wheel turning angle inspection, after toe-in inspection.
Place front wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on stands, so that vehicle can be level.
Check the maximum inner and outer wheel turning angles for LH and RH road wheels.

  - Disassemble steering gear assembly to check the cause that rack stroke is outside of the standard.
- Steering angles are not adjustable. Check steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and front suspension components for wear or damage if any of the turning angles are different from the specified value. Replace any of them, if any non-standard condition exists.
