CAMBER
Standard value: −0°40' ± 0°30' (Left/right devi-
ation 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 cam-
ber/caster/kingpin gauge to the trailing arm spindle
by using special tool wheel alignment gauge attach
-
ment (MB991014). Tighten the special tool to the
same torque 175
± 25 N⋅m as the rear wheel hub
nut (self-locking nut).
If camber is not within the standard value, adjust by
following procedures.

cle 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' ± 0°05'
If toe-in is not within the standard value, adjust by fol-
lowing procedures.
