See following NOTE.
NOTE: Prior to making any front suspension adjustments, inspect components for wear or damage and
repair or replace as necessary.
Toe-in Adjustment
1. On a level surface, roll the vehicle forward, then stop. Make sure the front wheels are pointed straight
ahead. Do not turn the steering wheel again during this procedure.
2. On each front tire, mark (as closely as possible) the center of the tread face that is oriented toward the
rear of the vehicle. The marks should be at the same height as the center of each hub.
3. Measure the distance between the marks on the rear-facing surfaces of the tires, and then roll the vehicle
forward one and one-half wheel revolutions until the marks appear on the forward-facing surfaces of the
tires at the same height as the center of the hub.
