Adjust with the tie rods once the lock nuts have been slackened. Positive adjustment values generate a toe-in angle while negative values generate a toe-out angle.

For the correct values for each model, see WHEEL CAMBERS .

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.

Treat the strut threads using rustproofing agent after tightening.
