The maximum steering angle of the front wheels can be adjusted with the stop bolts under the frame side members.
1. Position each front wheel on the turning radius gauge in a straight-ahead position.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. Adjust the inside wheel angle of each side with the stop bolts.
NOTE: The maximum protruding length (1) of stop bolt (3) from the lock nut (2) should be 10 mm or less.
4. Similarly adjust the inside wheel angle of the other side with stop bolt.
Inside wheel: 34° (+0° to -2°)
Outside wheel: 32°
NOTE: Maximum steering angles should be set after adjusting front wheel alignment.
5. If the stop between the lower link end and the knuckle comes ahead of the stop bolt, adjust the stop bolt so that inner stop bolt touches the drop arm (relay lever).
6. Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque.
Torque: 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.)
