■ Inspecting and Adjusting the Toe-in
Poorly adjusted toe-in can cause difficulty in steering
action or abnormal sway of the steering wheel. Measure
the dimensions A and B on the front wheels, and check
that the dimensional difference “A-B” falls in a range of
0.16 to 0.31 in. (4 to 8 mm). Otherwise, loosen the
locknuts on the right and left tie-rod ends, and adjust the
length of threaded portions. When the toe-in falls in the
range of 0.16 to 0.31 in. (4 to 8 mm), secure this
adjustment by retightening the locknuts.
In other words, make a mark at the same point (e.g.;
center line of tire) on the front of both front tires. Make a
mark at the comparable point on the rear of the each front
tire.
Measure the distance between the marks on the front of the
tire (measurement B). Then measure the distance between
the marks on the rear of the tire (measurement A).
The measurement B should be 0.16 to 0.31 in. (4 to 8 mm)
less than measurement A.
