Hi there,

this should be done by a wheel alignment, removing the air bag is extremely dangerous and should only be work on by a qualified tech.

This is the toe in adjustment, the steering wheel is held in the straight ahead position and the toe in is adjusted to get thehcorrect mesurements as per alignment specs, you will not get the sewttings correct by eye, close enough is not good enough in this case, even 1-2 mm out will cause p[remeture tyre wear.
