Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Rear Toe-In Adjustment
The differential strut is secured to the wishbone tie assembly. The 2 tie rods are installed between the front of the subframe and the top of the final drive housing. The outer end of each wishbone is secured to its respective hub carrier assembly by a fulcrum bolt. Each fulcrum bolt head incorporates an eccentric circular flange which locates in a groove in the front face of the wishbone arm. Rotation of the fulcrum bolt results in horizontal movement of the bolt shank in an elongated hole in the rear of the wishbone arm. This action achieves corresponding movement of the hub carrier, facilitating adjustment of toe-in.
