4. Install the drive gear onto the differential case with the mating marks properly
aligned. Tighten the drive gear attaching bolts to the specified torque in a
diagonal sequence.

CAUTION: For AWD-vehicles, never subject the wheel bearings
to the vehicle load when the drive shaft nuts, or the
special tool (MB991004) is loosened.
NOTE: For AWD-vehicles, attach the camber/caster/kingpin gauge
to the drive shaft by using the special tool MB991004.
Tighten special tool MB991004 to the same torque 230 +/- 30
N.m (170 +/- 21 ft-lb) as the drive shaft nut.

INSPECTION
Check the bushings for wear and deterioration. Check the toe control arm for bending or breakage. Check all bolts for condition and straightness.
TOE CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT TURNING TORQUE CHECK Required Special Tool:
MB990326: Preload Socket
1. After shaking the ball joint stud several times, in order to make the ball joint
turn smoothl
y, install the nut to the stud and use s
pecial tool MB990326 to

measure the turning torque of the ball joint.
Standard value: 1.0 - 2.6 N.m (8.9 - 23 in-lb)
2. If the measured value exceeds the standard value, replace the toe control arm
assembly.
3. If the measured value is lower than the standard value, check that the ball joint
turns smoothly without excessive play. If so, it is possible to re-use that ball
joint.
