(c) Advance the vehicle until the marks on the rear of the tires come to the front.
NOTE: The toe-in should be measured at the same point on the tire and at the same level.
(d) Measure the distance between the marks on the front of the tires.
Inspection standard: 3 ± 2 mm (0.12 ± 0.08 in.)
Adjustment standard: 3 ± 1 mm (0.12 ± 0.04 in.)
(e) Remove the rack boot clips and loosen the clamp bolts.

8. INSPECT SIDE SLIP WITH SIDE SLIP TESTER
