•The scale has gradations of approximately 14'.
CAUTION
To prevent bushings from breakage, the
connecting bolt should be temporarily tightened,
and then fully tightened to 90 ± 10 N⋅m with the
vehicle on the earth in the unladen condition.
3. Tighten the control link to the trailing arm.
4. After adjusting the camber, the toe should be
adjusted.
TOE-IN
Standard value:
At the centre of tyre tread: 3 ± 2 mm
Toe angle (per wheel): 0°08' ± 05'If toe-in is not within the standard value, adjust by
following procedures.
CAUTION
To prevent bushings from breakage, the control
link mounting nut should be temporarily
tightened, and then fully tightened to 120 ± 10
N⋅m with the vehicle on the earth in the unladen
condition.
Carry out adjustment by turning the toe adjusting bolt
(control link mounting bolt which is located on the
inner side of the body).
NOTE: .
•LH: Clockwise viewed from the front → Toe-in
•RH: Clockwise viewed from the front → Toe-out

NUT (SELF-LOCKING NUT) REMOVAL
CAUTION
•To hold the coil spring securely, install
special tool arm set (MB991239) evenly, and
so that the space between both arms of the
special tool will be maximum within the
installation range.
•Do not use an impact wrench to tighten the
bolt of special tool spring compressor body
(MB991237). It will break the special tool.
1. Use following special tools to compress the coil
spring.
•MB991237: Spring Compressor Body
•MB991239: Arm Set
WARNING
Do not use an impact wrench to remove the
rear suspension coil spring nut (self-locking
nut). Vibration of the impact wrench will
cause special tools (MB991237 and
MB991239) to slip and cause personal injury.
2. While holding the piston rod, remove the rear
suspension coil spring nut (self-locking nut).

ABSORBER DISPOSAL
WARNING
Wear goggles when drilling to protect your
eyes from flying metal debris.
The gas must be discharged from the shock
absorber before discarding it. Place the shock
absorber horizontally with its piston rod extended.
Then drill a hole of approximately 3 mm in diameter
at the location shown in the illustration and discharge
the gas.

WARNING
•If the vehicle continues to be driven after
the collision absorbing mechanism has
operated, the steering column shaft may
be damaged while it is in use.
•If there is a slack in the one-way capsule,
do not attempt to repair it but replace the
steering column shaft assembly.
Inspection Procedure
1. Remove the lower and upper column covers.
CAUTION
Do not release the tilt lever until the steering
column has been installed to complete this
inspection procedure.
2. Ensure that the tilt lever is in the lock position.
NOTE: If not, place the tilt lever in the lock
position.
3. Loosen the two steering column mounting bolts
(upper) by two turns.4. Hold the one-way capsules as shown, and then
try to lock them. If there is a slack in either of the
capsules, replace the steering column shaft
assembly.
NOTE: When installing a new steering column
shaft assembly, place the tilt lever in the lock
position, if it is not in place.
CAUTION
•Be careful that nothing is pinched between
the one-way capsules and the body.
•Do not release the tilt lever until the steering
column has been installed to complete this
inspection procedure.
5. If no problem is found during the inspection,
tighten the steering column mounting bolts to the
specified torque.
Tightening torque: 12 ± 2 N⋅m
