Front Wheel Alignment Check And Adjustment: Toe-In

  1. Adjust the toe-in by undoing the clip and jam nut, and turning the left and right tie rod turnbuckles by the same amount (in opposite directions).
    NOTE: The toe will move out as the left turnbuckle is turned toward the front of the vehicle and the right turnbuckle is turned toward the rear of the vehicle.
  2. Install the clip and tighten the jam nut to the specified torque.
    • Standard value: 40 +/- 5 N.m (30 +/- 3 ft-lb) 
  3. Confirm that the toe-in is at the standard value.
  4. Use a turning radius gauge to check that the steering angle is at the standard value.
