6.8.1 Inspection and Adjustment
Before checking front wheel toe-in, first check the camber angles and make the necessary corrections.
1. Measure the toe-in.
2. If the toe-in measurement is not within the specified tolerance, carry out the following procedure :
a. Loosen the pinch bolt nuts and bolts on each tie rod end.
b. Turn the tie rod until the specified toe-in measurement is obtained.
c. Tighten the pinch bolt nuts alternately and progressively to 65-75 lbf-ft (88-102 Nm), thus
securing all tie rod joints.
