  • When adjusting toe, loosen the outer clamp of the boot so that it does not twist.
  • After adjustment, tighten the tie rod end lock nuts securely and install the boot clamp.
  • Adjust each toe value within ±0.1°.
Toe [front wheel] 2WD (total/individual): 0.2° ± 0.2° / 0.1° ± 0.1° 4WD (total/individual): 0.2° ± 0.2° / 0.1° ± 0.1°

Tightening torque 49.0 ~ 64 N·m

  • Make sure each toe value remains within ±0.1° of the other. If the difference between the RH and LH toe values exceeds ±0.2°, adjust toe accordingly.
