Front Wheel Toe-In: Adjustment

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).
