Toe-In

NOTE: Use commercially-available computerized four wheel alignment equipment to measure wheel alignment (that is, caster, camber, toe, and/or turning angle). Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

1. Release parking brake. Rear toe-in: (2.0 +2.0 mm / 0.08 +0.08 inch) -0.12 inch to 0

NOTE:
- Measure difference in toe measurements with the wheels pointed straight ahead.
- If the parking brake is engaged, you may get an incorrect reading.

a. If adjustment is required, go to step 2.
b. If no adjustment is required, remove alignment equipment.

2. Before adjustment, note the locations of right and left compensator arm adjusting bolts.





3. Loosen the adjusting bolts-and slide the compensator arm in or out, as shown, to adjust the toe. Example: After the rear toe inspection, the wheel is 2 mm (0.08 inch) out of the specification.
a. Move the arm so the adjusting bolt moves 2 mm (0.08 inch) inward from the position recorded before the adjustment.
b. The distance the adjusting bolt is moved should be equal to the amount out-of-specification.
4. Tighten the adjusting bolt.
