•Check the hub for cracks and spline for wear.
•Check the knuckle for cracks.
•Check for defective bearing.
NOTE: If the meshing of the wheel bearing outer
race and the knuckle, or of the wheel bearing
inner race and the hub, is loose, replace the
bearing or damaged parts.

REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND
ADJUSTMENT
M1341011000372
Measure wheel alignment with an alignment equip-
ment on level earth.
The rear suspension, wheels, and tyres should be
serviced to the normal condition prior to wheel align
-
ment measurement.
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:
AC001079
MB991014
AG
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.
1. Disconnect the conjunction of the control link and the trailing arm.

which is located on the inner side of the body).

Connecting bolt
The scale has gradations of approximately 14'.
CAUTION
To prevent bushings from breakage, the connect-
ing bolt should be temporarily tightened, and
then fully tightened to 90
± 10 N⋅m with the vehi-
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.
CAUTION
To prevent bushings from breakage, the control
link mounting nut should be temporarily tight
-
ened, and then fully tightened to 120 ± 10 N⋅m
with the vehicle on the earth in the unladen con
-
dition.

4. Move the ball joint stud several times and install
the nut on the stud. Using special tool preload
socket (MB990326), measure the ball joint turning
torque.
Standard value: 0.5 − 2.5 N⋅m
5. If the turning torque exceeds the standard value, replace the tie rod end.
6. If the turning torque is under the standard value, check the ball joint for axial play or ratcheting. If
no axial play or ratcheting, the ball joint can be
re-used.
CAUTION
Always use a new ball joint nut as it is a self-lock-
ing nut.
7. Install the tie rod end to the knuckle, then tighten a new self-locking nut to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 25 ± 5 N⋅m
STATIONARY STEERING EFFORT CHECKM1372001700332
1. With the vehicle stopped on a flat and paved
surface, turn the steering wheel to the straight
ahead position.
2. Start the engine and set the engine idle speed.
Standard value: 750 ± 100 r/min
ACX01122 AB
3. Attach a spring balance to the outer
circumference of the steering wheel and measure
the steering force required to turn the steering
wheel from the straight ahead position to the left
and right (within a range of 1.5 turns). Also check
to be sure that there is no significant change in
the required steering effort.
Standard value:
Steering effort: 29 N or less
Fluctuation allowance: 5.9 N or less
4. If the measured value exceeds the standard value, check and adjust the related parts.
