3.3 TOE IN ADJUSTMENT

(1) Apply air pressure as specified to tires.

(2) Measure the front width (A) and the rear width (b)

between the front wheels while straightened to ob-

tain the difference (toe-in).

(3) For other than specified, loosen the tightening nut

on the ball joint for adjustment while turning the

screw on the ball joint. Be sure to make the expo-

sure of left and right rods in the steering cylinder

equal this time.

0.0787 ~ 0.3149 in.

1. Adjust and set the clearance between the tighten-

ing bolt in (R) and the bevel gear case to be 2 mm

(0.0787 in.) or less with the tightening bolts in (F)

and (R) as contacted simultaneously with the bevel

gear case or with the bolt in (F) as contacted with

the bevel gear case when maximizing the direction

control angle for the front wheel.

(4) Toe-in

Viewing the front wheels from above reveals that the

distance between the front wheels is less at the front

than at the rear. This turning in of the front wheels is

called toe-in.

The front wheels tend to roll outward due to the camber,

but toe-in offsets this and ensures parallel rolling of

the front wheels. Another purpose of toe-in is to pre-

vent excessive and uneven wear of tires.
