ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

| REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
| Measure wheel alignment with an alignment equipment on level ground. 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') NOTE: Camber is adjustable. <2000> NOTE: Camber is preset at the factory and cannot be adjusted. <2400> CAUTION Never subject the wheel bearings to the vehicle load when the trailing arm spindle self-locking nuts (2WD), the drive shaft nuts (4WD), or the special tool wheel alignment gauge attachment (MB991004 or MB991014) are loosened.
| NOTE: For 2WD-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 trailing arm spindle self-locking nut.
| NOTE: For 4WD-vehicles with aluminium wheels, attach the camber/caster/kingpin gauge to the drive shaft by using special tool wheel alignment gauge attachment (MB991004). Tighten the special tool to the same torque 245 ± 29 N·m as the drive shaft nut.
| If camber is not within the standard value, adjust by following procedures. <2000> Disconnect the conjunction of the control link and the trailing arm.
| Carry out adjustment by turning the camber adjusting bolt (lower arm mounting bolt which is located on the inner side of the body). NOTE: LH: Clockwise viewed from the front → (+) camber RH: Clockwise viewed from the front → (-) camber Turning the camber adjusting bolt by one groove of the scale, camber can be changed approximately 14'. Tighten the control link to the trailing arm. 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' ± 05' If toe-in is not within the standard value, adjust by following procedures. Be sure to adjust the camber before making toe adjustment. <2000> CAUTION To prevent bushings from breakage, the toe adjusting bolt should be temporarily tightened, and then fully tightened with the vehicle on the ground in the unladen condition.
| Carry out adjustment by turning the toe adjusting bolt (control link mounting bolt which is located on the inner side of the body). NOTE: LH: Clockwise viewed from the front → Toe-in RH: Clockwise viewed from the front → Toe-out Turning the toe adjusting bolt by one groove of the scale, toe can be changed approximately 2.6 mm (single side toe angle equivalent to 16').
