ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
FRONT SUSPENSION33-6
NOTE: The toe will move out as the left
turnbuckle is turned toward the front of the vehicle
and the right turnbuckle is turned toward the rear
of the vehicle.
2. Install the clip and tighten the lock nut to the
specified torque.
Tightening torque: 40 ± 5 N⋅m
3. Confirm that the toe-in is at the standard value.
4. Use a turning radius gauge to check that the
steering angle is at the standard value.
STEERING ANGLE
Standard value:
TOE-OUT ANGLE ON TURNS
To check the steering linkage, especially after the
vehicle has been involved in an accident or if an
accident is presumed, it is advisable to check the
toe-out angle on turns in addition to the wheel
alignment.
Conduct this test on the left turn as well as on the
right turn.
Standard value:
CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN
INCLINATION
Standard value:NOTE: *: difference between right and left wheels
must be less than 30'
NOTE: Camber and caster are preset at the factory
and cannot be adjusted.
CAUTION
Never subject the wheel bearings to the vehicle
load when the driveshaft nuts are loosened.
NOTE:
For vehicles with aluminium wheels, attach the
camber/caster/kingpin gauge to the driveshaft by
using special tool wheel alignment gauge attachment
(MB991004). Tighten the special tool to the same
torque 245
± 29 N⋅m as the driveshaft nut.
LOWER ARM BALL JOINT AXIAL PLAY
CHECK
M1332011300074
1. Raise the vehicle.
2. Remove the stabilizer link from the lower arm.
3. Move the lower arm up and down with your hands
to check for an excessive play in the axial
direction of the ball joint. If there is an excessive
play, replace the lower arm assembly.
LOWER ARM BALL JOINT COVER
CHECK
M1332008600321
1. Press the lower arm ball joint cover with your
finger to check that there are no cracks or
damage in the lower arm ball joint cover.
2. If the lower arm ball joint cover is cracked or
damaged, replace the lower arm assembly.
NOTE: If the lower arm ball joint cover is cracked
or damaged, it is possible that there may also be
damage to the ball joint. Inner

STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY CHECKM1372001000311
1. With the engine running (hydraulic operation), set
the front wheels straight ahead.
2. Measure the play on the steering wheel
circumference before the wheels start to move
when slightly moving the steering wheel in both
directions.
Limit: 30 mm
3. When the play exceeds the limit, check for the
play on the steering shaft and steering linkage
connection. Correct or replace.
4. If the free play still exceeds the limit value, set the
steering wheel straight ahead with the engine
stopped. Load 5 N towards the steering wheel
circumference and check the play.
Standard value (steering wheel play with the
engine stopped): 10 mm or less
5. If the play exceeds the standard value, remove
the steering gear (Refer to P.37-24) and check
the total pinion torque (Refer to P.37-27).
STEERING ANGLE CHECKM1372001100374
1. Place the front wheel on a turning radius gauge
and measure the steering angle.
Standard value:
2. If the steering angle is not within the standard
value, adjust the toe-in as follows.
Standard value:
at the centre of tyre tread: 1 ± 2 mm
Toe angle (per wheel): 0°03' ± 06'
3. Loosen the lock nut, and unclip the bellows.
4. Adjust the toe-in by turning the left and right tie
rod turnbuckles by the same amount (in opposite
directions).
NOTE: The toe will move out as the left
turnbuckle is turned toward the front of the vehicle
and the right turnbuckle is turned toward the rear
of the vehicle.
5. Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque, and
tighten the bellows by the clip.
Tightening torque: 40 ± 5 N⋅m
6. Recheck the steering angle.
