1. Inspect the tire inflation, and adjust to the recommended pressure as necessary.
2. Inspect the front wheel for bearing play and correct it if necessary. (See 03111 Wheel Bearing Play
Inspection.)
3. Inspect the wheel and tire runouts. (See 02501 SUSPENSION TECHNICAL DATA.)
4. Inspect the ball joints and steering linkage for excessive looseness.
5. Shake the vehicle to inspect the operation of the shock absorbers.
Note
The vehicle must be on level ground and unloaded.
Unloaded ... Fuel tank is full. Engine coolant and engine oil are at specified levels. Spare tire, jack and
tools are in designated positions.
6. Measure the height from the center of the wheel
to the fender brim. The difference between the left
and right measurement must not exceed 10 mm
{0.39 in}.

Turn the tie rods equally.
4. Turn the tie rod to provide the correct maximum
steering angle.

Total Toe-in Adjustment
1. Center the steering wheel and confirm that the vehicle wheels/tires are pointing straight.
2. Remove the steering gear boot clamp.
3. Loosen the left and right tie rod locknuts and turn the tie rods equally. Both tie rods are right threaded, so
turning the right tie rod toward the front of the vehicle and the left toward the rear increases toe-in.
Note
Turning both tie rods one complete turn changes toe-in by about 6 mm {0.24 in} (036').
4. Tighten the tie rod locknuts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque
68.798.0 Nm {7.010.0 kgfm, 50.772.3 ftlbf}
5. Verify that the boot is not twisted, and install the boot clamp.
