FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND
ADJUSTMENT
M1331000900682
Measure wheel alignment with alignment equipment
on a level surface. The front suspension, steering
system, wheels, and tyres should be serviced to
normal condition before measuring wheel alignment.
TOE-IN
Standard value:
at the centre of tyre tread: 1 ± 2 mm
Toe angle (per wheel): 0°03' ± 06'
1. Adjust the toe-in by undoing the clip and lock nut,
and turning the left and right tie rod turnbuckles by
the same amount (in opposite directions). MB990883 Rear suspension bushing

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.
2. Install the clip and tighten the lock nut to the
specified torque.
Tightening torque: 40 ± 5 N⋅m
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:
TOE-OUT ANGLE ON TURNS
To check the steering linkage, especially after the
vehicle has been involved in an accident or if an
accident is presumed, it is advisable to check the
toe-out angle on turns in addition to the wheel
alignment.
Conduct this test on the left turn as well as on the
right turn.
Standard value:
CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN
INCLINATION
Standard value:NOTE: *: difference between right and left wheels
must be less than 30'
NOTE: Camber and caster are preset at the factory
and cannot be adjusted.
CAUTION
Never subject the wheel bearings to the vehicle
load when the driveshaft nuts are loosened.
NOTE:
For vehicles with aluminium wheels, attach the
camber/caster/kingpin gauge to the driveshaft by
using special tool wheel alignment gauge attachment
(MB991004). Tighten the special tool to the same
torque 245
± 29 N⋅m as the driveshaft nut.

following procedures.
CAUTION
To prevent bushings from breakage, the control
link mounting nut should be temporarily
tightened, and then fully tightened to 120 ± 10
N⋅m with the vehicle on the earth in the unladen
condition.

BUSHING ROTATION STARTING TORQUE
CHECK
Check each pillow ball bushing as follows.
1. Insert the mounting bolt to the pillow ball bushing.
In the opposite direction, insert a washer, then
install the mounting nut.
2. After rotating the inner sleeve (contained washer)
several times, measure the rotation starting
torque of the pillow ball bushing using special tool
preload socket (MB990326).
Standard value: 0.5 − 3.0 N⋅m
3. If the measured value exceeds the standard
value, replace the control link, the upper arm, or
the lower arm pillow ball bushing.
4. If the measured value is lower than the standard
value, check that the pillow ball bushing turns
smoothly without excessive play. If there is no
excessive play and it turns smoothly, the pillow
ball bushing can be reused.

REPLACEMENT
M1341011800204
Replace the lower arm bushing and lower arm pillow
ball bushing as follows.

PARKING BRAKE LEVER STROKE
CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
M1361000900339
1. Pull the parking brake lever with a force of
approximately 200 N and count the number of
notches.
Standard value: 5 − 7 notches
2. If the parking brake lever stroke is not the
standard value, adjust as described below.
(1) Remove the rear console assembly (Refer to
GROUP 52A, Rear Floor Console P.52A-8).
(2) Loosen the adjusting nut to move it to the
cable rod end so that the cable will be free.
(3) Remove the wheels.
(4) Complete air bleeding of brake circuit. (Refer
to GROUP 35A, On-vehicle Service, Bleeding
P.35A-6.)(5) Remove the rear wheel hub plug, and then
use a flat-tipped screwdriver to turn the shoe
slack adjuster in the direction of the arrow (the
direction which expands the shoe) so that the
disc will not rotate.
Return the shoe slack adjuster 5 notches in
the direction opposite to the direction of the
arrow.
(6) Turn the adjusting nut to adjust the parking
brake lever stroke to the standard value. After
adjusting, check that there is no space
between the adjusting nut and the parking
brake lever. Check that the adjusting nut is
secured with the nut holder.
CAUTION
If the parking brake lever stroke is below the
standard value and the braking is too firm, the
rear brakes may drag.
(7) Release the parking brake and turn the rear
wheels to check that the rear brakes are not
dragging.
