Standard value :
Wheel angle
Inside wheel 39.17° ±2°
Outside wheel 31.56°


2. If the measured value is not within the standard value, adjust the toe and inspect again.





Checking The Tie Rod End Ball Joint Starting Torque
1. Disconnect tie rod and knuckle with the special tool (09568-4A000).




2. Shake the ball joint stud several times to check for looseness.

Tie rod end ball joint starting torque :
30 kg-cm or less





3. If the starting torque exceeds the upper limit of the standard value, replace the tie rod end.
4. Even if the starting torque is below the lower limit of the standard value, check the play of the ball joint and replace if necessary.
