Front Wheel Toe-In: Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Subaru Baja. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When exceeding the tolerance, adjust it as follows.

  1. Loosen the left and right side steering tie-rods lock nuts.
  2. Turn the left and right tie rods equal amounts until the toe-in is at the adjustment standard.

    Toe-in: 

    0°2 mm (0°0.08 in) (adjustment standard) 

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