ADJUSTMENT
PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT TIRES

2. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT

NOTICE:
Before inspecting the wheel alignment, check the vehicle height.
Be sure to perform measurement on a level surface.
If it is necessary to go under the vehicle for measurement, confirm that the parking brake is applied and vehicle is secured with chocks.
Inspect while the vehicle is unloaded.
The standard value shown here is a value that is used for adjusting the wheel alignment and does not indicate the height of an actual vehicle.

(a) Bounce the vehicle up and down at the corners to stabilize the suspension.

(b) Measure the vehicle height.

(a) Measure the thread lengths of the right and left rack ends.

Standard:
Difference in thread length of 1.5 mm (0.0591 in.) or less
(b) Remove the steering rack boot clips.

(c) Loosen the tie rod end lock nuts.

(d) Adjust the rack ends if the difference in thread length between the right and left rack ends is not within the specified range.

(1) Extend the shorter rack end if the measured toe-in deviates toward the outer-side.

(2) Shorten the longer rack end if the measured toe-in deviates toward the inner-side.

(e) Turn the right and left rack ends by an equal amount to adjust the toe-in to the center value.

HINT:
Try to adjust the toe-in to the center of the specified range.

(f) Make sure that the lengths of the right and left rack ends are the same.

(g) Tighten the tie rod end lock nuts to the specified torque.

Torque:
75 N·m {760 kgf·cm, 55 ft·lbf}

NOTICE:
Temporarily tighten the lock nut while holding the hexagonal part of the steering rack end so that the lock nut and steering rack end do not turn
together. Hold the flat of the tie rod end and tighten the lock nut.
