   A - Tire Center

2. Drive straight ahead 6.1 m (20 ft).

3. Mark tire center (A) at front and rear of rim, on centerline (B).

4. IMPORTANT: Measurements taken at wheel rim, not at outside of tire.

   Measure from mark-to-mark diagonally to verify wheels are straight ahead. If measurements are not equal within 6.3 mm (0.25 in.), turn steering wheel slightly to adjust tires and remeasure.

5. Measure from mark-to-mark on rear of each rim. Record measurement for rear spacing dimension (C).

6. Measure from mark-to-mark on front of each rim. Record measurement for front spacing dimension (D).

7. Subtract front spacing from rear spacing to obtain toe-in dimension. Dimension (D) should be 10—25 mm (0.38—1 in.) less than dimension (C).

   If dimensions are not within specified range, (see Adjusting Front Axle Toe-In in this section).
