The rear suspension, wheels, and tyres should be
serviced to the normal condition prior to wheel
alignment measurement.
CAMBER
Standard value: -0° 40' ± 30' (Left/right
deviation within 30')
CAUTION
Never subject the wheel bearings to the vehicle
load when the rear wheel hub nuts (self-locking
nuts) or special tool wheel alignment gauge
attachment (MB991014) are loosened.
NOTE:
For vehicles with aluminium wheels, attach the
camber/caster/kingpin gauge to the trailing arm
spindle by using special tool wheel alignment gauge
attachment (MB991014). Tighten the special tool to
the same torque 175

•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.
