Front Wheel Toe-In: Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Make sure that the right and left steering angles are within specified value.
  2. Loosen the right and left side steering tie-rods lock nuts.
  3. Turn the right and left tie rods equal amounts until the toe-in is at the specification.

    Both the right and left tie-rods are right-hand threaded. To increase toe-in, turn both tie-rods clockwise equal amounts (as viewed from inside of the vehicle).
