Steering Angle Adjustment

1.  Loosen the tie-rod end locknuts.

2.  Remove the steering gear boot clamp.

3.  Rotate the tie rod and adjust the steering angle.

Note
•  The travel distance of the right and left tie rods should be the same.

4.  Rotate the tie rod and adjust so that dimension L shown in the figure does not exceed the specification.

Specification
14.8—27.8 mm {0.59—1.09 in}

5.  Tighten the tie-rod end locknuts.

Tightening torque
69—98 N·m {7.1—9.9 kgf·m, 51—72 ft·lbf}

6.  Verify that the boot does not have any twisting and install the boot clamp.

7.  After steering angle adjustment, always inspect and adjust the total toe-in. (See Total Toe-in Adjustment.)


Total Toe-in Adjustment

1.  Loosen the locknut of the tie-rod end.

2.  Remove the boot clamp.

3.  Adjust the total toe-in by rotating each tie rod (left and right) in the opposite directions by the same amount respectively.

Note
•  Toe angle changes by approx. 7 mm {0.3 in} in per one rotation of the tie rod for one wheel.
•  Each tie rod has a right-hand thread.

4.  Tighten the locknut of the tie-rod end.

Tightening torque
69—98 N·m {7.1—9.9 kgf·m, 51—72 ft·lbf}

5.  Verify that the boot does not have any twisting and install the boot clamp.
