Adjust with the tie rods after loosening the lock nuts. Adjusting towards a positive value will give toe-in and towards a negative value toe-out. To obtain correct values on respective model variants, refer to Wheel Camber, Specifications .

NOTE: The lengths of the tie rods must not vary between themselves by more than 2 mm. Measure between the lock nut and the edge of thread.
