Scheme 2
- Loosen the tie-rod end locknuts.
- Remove the steering gear boot clamp.
- Turn the tie rods. (Scheme 2): Turning Tie Rods Standard length L 13-31 mm {0.6-1.2 in}
- Turn the tie rods equally to provide the correct maximum steering angle.
- Tighten the tie-rod end locknuts. Tightening torque 79-108 N.m {8.1-11 kgf.m, 59-79 ft.lbf}
- Verify that the boot is not twisted, and install the boot clamp.
- Adjust the toe-in after adjusting the steering angle.
Total Toe-in Adjustment
- Loosen the locknut of the tie-rod end.
- Remove the rack boot clamp.
- 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. 6 mm {0.2 in} per one rotation of the tie rod for one wheel. Each tie rod has a right-hand thread. When increasing the toe-in angle, rotate the right tie rod toward the front of the vehicle and rotate the left tie rod toward the rear of the vehicle by the same amount.
- Tighten the locknut of the tie-rod end. Tightening torque 79-108 N.m {8.1-11 kgf.m, 59-79 ft.lbf}
- Verify that the rack boot does not have any twisting and install the rack boot clamp.
