Checking Front Wheel Turning Angle

CHECKING FRONT WHEEL TURNING ANGLE
Check the maximum inside and outside front wheel turning angle for right and left with the turning radius gauges as per the following procedure.
1. Check toe-in.

NOTE: Perform front wheel turning angle after the toe-in check.





2. Place front wheels on turning radius gauges and rear wheels on stands.








3. With the engine at idle, turn steering wheel from full left stop to full right stop and measure the turning angles.





^ Measure rack stroke if angles are outside the specified value.
Rack stroke L: 72.0 mm (2.835 in)
- Disassemble steering gear assembly to check the cause that rack stroke is outside of the standard.
^ Steering angles are not adjustable. Check steering gear assembly, steering column assembly and front suspension components for wear or damage if any of the turning angles are different from the specified value. Replace any of them, if any non-standard condition exists.
