WARNING
• Be sure that both tie-rods are turned the
same amount. If not, the vehicle will drift
right or left even though the steering
wheel is positioned straight. This may
lead to mishandling and an accident.
• After setting the toe-in to specification,
run the vehicle slowly for some distance
with both hands lightly holding the steer-
ing wheel and check that the steering
wheel responds correctly. If not, turn
either the right or left tie-rod within the
toe-in specification.
