Toe-In Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Honda Civic and 1995 Honda Civic. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Manufacturer recommends using commercially available computerized 4-wheel alignment equipment. Follow equipment manufacturer instructions to obtain current vehicle alignment settings. Use following procedures for necessary adjustments.
  1. Secure steering wheel in straight-ahead position. Measure front wheel toe-in. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS  table. If adjustment is needed, loosen tie rod lock nuts. Turn both tie rods equally in the same direction until front wheels are in straight-ahead position and toe-in reading is correct. Tighten tie rod lock nuts. Reposition tie rod boots if twisted.
  2. Ensure parking brake is released. Check rear wheel toe-in. If adjustment is needed, hold adjusting bolt on rear compensator arm and loosen lock nut. See Fig 1 . Adjust rear toe-in by sliding rear control arm until rear toe-in is correct. Install NEW lock nut, and tighten it while holding adjusting bolt.
