REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND
ADJUSTMENT
M1341011000372
Measure wheel alignment with an alignment
equipment on level earth.
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
± 25 N⋅m as the rear wheel hub
nut (self-locking nut). MB990947 Lower arm bushing arbor Trailing arm bushing
