TOE-INStandard value: 0 2 3 mm (0 +
.12 in.)
1. Adjust the toe-in by undoing the clips and turning the left
and right tie rod turnbuckles by the same amount (in
opposite directions).
2.After making the adjustments, use a turning radius gauge to
confirm that the steering wheel turning angle is within thestandard value range. (Refer to GROUP 37A

Install the special tool by tightening it to the same torque as
that applied to the drive shaft nut.
a
To adjust camber, turn the strut lower mounting bolt (upper).
One graduation is equivalent to about 20’ in camber. Caster hasbeen factory-adjusted to the standard value and requires no
adjustment.
Caution
1.One camber graduation changes toe by about 0.5 mm
(.02 in.). Be sure to adjust toe after camber has been
adjusted.
2.The difference in camber between right and left shouldbe within
O”30’.
WHEEL BEARING ADJUSTMENTM33FCAA
Bearing preload is pre-set to the specified value by design andtherefore can not be adjusted.

(1) Holding the spring upper seat with the special tool,
loosen the self-locking nut.
CautionThe self-locking nut should be loosened only, not
removed.
(2) Using the special tools, compress the coil spring, andthen remove the self-locking nut.
NOTEInstall the special tools evenly, and so that the max-

4. INSTALLATION OF SPRING UPPER SEAT ASSEMBLY
(1) Assemble the spring upper seat to the piston rod, fitting
the notch in the rod to the shaped hole in spring seat.(2) Line up the holes in the strut assembly spring lower
seat with the hole in the spring upper seat.
NOTEThe job is easily accomplished with a pipe
[$I 8 mm x
300 mm
(4 .3 in. x 11.8 in.)].
2. INSTALLATION OF SELF-LOCKING NUT
(1) With the coil spring held compressed by the special
tools (MB991 237 and MB991 238). provisionally .tightenthe self-locking nut.
(2) Correctly align both ends of the coil spring with the
grooves in the spring seat, and then loosen the special
tools (MB991 237 and MB991 238).
(3) Using the special tool, tighten the strut insulator at the
specified torque.12FOO20
