Adjusting toe

Loosen the tie rod lock nut.

Remove the cover clamp rail.

Adjust toe rotation of both steering drafts (left and right) in opposite directions by the same amount.

NOTE

During one turn of the wheel steering rod toe angle changes by about 6 mm.

Each Tie Rod has the right thread.

To increase the convergence angle, rotate the right tie rod toward the front of the vehicle and the left tie rod to the rear of the vehicle by the same amount.

Tighten the tie rod lock nut.

The inhaling moment: 68,6-98,0 Nm.

Make sure that the cover is not twisted rails and install the clamp cover rail.
