      A + B: 0°18' +- 12' (0.3° +- 0.2°)
      C - D: 3 +- 2 mm (0.12 +- 0.08 in.)

      If the toe-in is not within the specified range, inspect the suspension parts and replace them if necessary.

  4. ADJUST TOE-IN (for 2WD) 
    1. Measure the lengths of the right and left rear suspension arms No.2.

      Difference in the length of rear suspension arm No.2: 1.5 mm (0.06 in.) or less 

      If the left-right difference is larger than 1.5 mm (0.06 in.), adjust it by following the procedures below.
