Scheme 1

Scheme 1: Steering Angle Adjustment
  1. Loosen the locknut of the tie-rod end.
  2. Remove the rack boot clamp.
  3. Rotate the tie rod and adjust the steering angle. Standard steering angle Inner: 38°36'±3° Outer: 33°18'±3° NOTE: Rotate and adjust the tie rod. The difference between right and left dimension L shown in the figure should be within the specification. Standard 3 mm {0.12 in} or less
  4. Tighten the locknut of the tie-rod end. Tightening torque 68.6-98.0 N.m {7.00-9.99 kgf.m, 50.6-72.2 ft.lbf}
  5. Correct the rack boot deformation.
  6. Install and fix the rack boot clamp.
  7. After adjusting the steering angle, always inspect and adjust the toe angle. (See «TOTAL TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT»(ref-367661-S19416034092010072700000) .)
