Important: Make left and right wheel rear toe adjustments separately, per wheel, using the following procedure.
1. Loosen the inner adjustment link cam nut.
2. Rotate the cam bolt (2) using an 8 mm socket on the threaded end of the bolt.
3. Adjust the rear toe to the required specification setting.
NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.
4. Tighten the Cam nut.
Tighten the cam nut to 80 Nm (74 ft. lbs.).
5. Recheck the toe setting after tightening the jam nut.
6. Readjust the toe setting if necessary.

- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
