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

CHECK
Check each pillow ball bushing as follows.
1. Insert the mounting bolt to the pillow ball bushing.
In the opposite direction, insert a washer, then
install the mounting nut.
2. After rotating the inner sleeve (contained washer)
several times, measure the rotation starting
torque of the pillow ball bushing using special tool
preload socket (MB990326).
Standard value: 0.5 − 3.0 N⋅m
3. If the measured value exceeds the standard
value, replace the control link, the upper arm, or
the lower arm pillow ball bushing.
4. If the measured value is lower than the standard
value, check that the pillow ball bushing turns
smoothly without excessive play. If there is no
excessive play and it turns smoothly, the pillow
ball bushing can be reused.
