ON-VEHICLE SERVICE FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT Measure wheel alignment with alignment equipment on a level surface. The front
sus
pension, steerin
g system, wheels, and tires should be serviced to normal
CAUTION: On vehicles with ASC, if the wheel alignment is
adjusted, always carry out steering wheel sensor
calibration (STEERING WHEEL SENSOR
CALIBRATION
). This is necessary because the
TCL/ASC-ECU should update the steering neutral
point.

condition before measuring wheel alignment. TOE-IN Standard value: 0 +/- 3 mm (0 +/- 0.12 inch)
1. Adjust the toe-in by undoing the clip and jam nut, and turning the left and right
tie rod turnbuckles by the same amount (in opposite directions).

2. Install the cli
p and ti
ghten the
jam nut to the s
pecified tor
que.
NOTE: The toe will move out as the left turnbuckle is turned
toward the front of the vehicle and the right turnbuckle
is turned toward the rear of the vehicle.

Tightening torque: 52 +/- 2 N.m (38 +
/-2 f
t-lb)
3. Confirm that the toe-in is at the standard value.
4. Use a turning radius gauge to check that the steering angle is at the standard
value.
STEERING ANGLE
Standard value:
35°6' +/- 2°00' < Inner wheel>
30+/-00' < Outer wheel (reference)>
5. On vehicles with ASC, if the toe-in is adjusted, always carry out steering wheel
sensor calibration (Refer to STEERING WHEEL SENSOR
CALIBRATION
article).
CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION Required Special Tool:
MB991004: Wheel Alignment Gauge Attachment
Standard value:
Camber: 0° 00' +/- 30' (Left/right deviation within 30')
Caster: 3° 00' +/- 30' (Left/right deviation within 30')
Kingpin inclination: 12° 50' +/- 1° 30'
NOTE: Caster is preset at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
CAUTION: Never subject the wheel bearings to the vehicle load
when the drive shaft nuts are loosened.
NOTE: Attach the camber/caster/kingpin gauge to the drive shaft

If the camber is outside of the standard value, perform the following adjustment
procedures.
1. Estimate how much additional camber adjustment is required. Using the table
below, select the camber adjusting bolt, and then replace the knuckle and strut
assembl
y connection bolts
(upper bolt
, lower bolt
) with the selected bolts.
by using special tool MB991004. Tighten special tool
MB991004 to the same torque 236 +/- 19 N.m (174 +/- 14 ft-
lb) as the driveshaft nut.

NOTE: If the camber adjusting value that is required is greater
than 1°30', check for bent or damaged parts and rep lace
as necessary.

2. Tighten the nuts temporarily, and then pull or push the front axle to adjust the
camber.
NOTE: Set bolt is the bolt installed at factory. "10" embossed
on bolt head is head mark.
NOTE: Pulling the upper side of the front axle to the outside of
the vehicle will increase the camber. Pushing it to the
inside of the vehicle will decrease the camber.
