Maximum Steering Angle Adjustment

1. Loosen the tie-rod end locknuts.

2. Remove the steering gear boot clamp.

3. Turn the tie rods to equalize the length L.

Maximum left/right difference
3 mm {0.12 in}

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

5. Tighten the tie-rod end locknuts.

Tightening torque
68.6-98.0 N·m {7.00-9.99 kgf·m, 50.6-72.2 ft·lbf}

6. Verify that the boot is not twisted, and install the boot clamp.

7. Adjust the toe-in after adjusting the steering angle.

Total Toe-in Adjustment

1. Center the steering wheel and confirm that the vehicle wheels/tires are pointing straight.

2. Loosen the left and right tie-rod end 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} (0°36').

3. Tighten the tie-rod end locknuts to the specified torque.

Tightening torque
68.6-98.0 N·m {7.00-9.99 kgf·m, 50.6-72.2 ft·lbf}

4. Verify that the boot is not twisted, and install the boot clamp.
