Standard value : Toe-in (B-A) mm (in) : 2.0 ± 2 (0.0787 ± 0.0787)
Adjust the toe-in by turning the cambolt of the assist arm.
Left cambolt : Clockwise -> toe-in / Right cambolt : Clockwise -> toe-out / The variation of toe by a rotation of the cambolt : About 3.2 mm (0.126 in)
Standard value : Toe-in (B-A) mm (in) : 2.0 ± 2 (0.0787 ± 0.0787)
CAUTION:
a. Each toe should be within ±1 mm (± 0.039 in).
If the difference between right and left is not within +2mm (0.079 in), repeat adjustment.
b. After adjusting the cambolt, tighten the nut to the specified torque.
Specified torque: 78.8 - 98.1 Nm (8.0 - 10.0 kgf.m, 57.9 - 75.3 lb-ft)
Standard value : Toe-in (B-A) mm (in) : 2.0 ± 2 (0.0787 ± 0.0787)
