FRONT SUSPENSION33-6
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.
LOWER ARM BALL JOINT AXIAL PLAY
CHECK
M1332011300074
1. Raise the vehicle.
2. Remove the stabilizer link from the lower arm.
3. Move the lower arm up and down with your hands
to check for an excessive play in the axial
direction of the ball joint. If there is an excessive
play, replace the lower arm assembly.
LOWER ARM BALL JOINT COVER
CHECK
M1332008600321
1. Press the lower arm ball joint cover with your
finger to check that there are no cracks or
damage in the lower arm ball joint cover.
2. If the lower arm ball joint cover is cracked or
damaged, replace the lower arm assembly.
NOTE: If the lower arm ball joint cover is cracked
or damaged, it is possible that there may also be
damage to the ball joint. Inner

2. Set the installation direction and installation
location of the trailing arm bushing.
(1) Place the long projection end of the trailing
arm bushing inner pipe towards the inside of
the vehicle.(2) Make sure that the hollow of the trailing arm
bushing is located as shown in the illustration.
3. Using the special tools, press the trailing arm
bushing into the position shown.

STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY CHECKM1372001000311
1. With the engine running (hydraulic operation), set
the front wheels straight ahead.
2. Measure the play on the steering wheel
circumference before the wheels start to move
when slightly moving the steering wheel in both
directions.
Limit: 30 mm
3. When the play exceeds the limit, check for the
play on the steering shaft and steering linkage
connection. Correct or replace.
4. If the free play still exceeds the limit value, set the
steering wheel straight ahead with the engine
stopped. Load 5 N towards the steering wheel
circumference and check the play.
Standard value (steering wheel play with the
engine stopped): 10 mm or less
5. If the play exceeds the standard value, remove
the steering gear (Refer to P.37-24) and check
the total pinion torque (Refer to P.37-27).
STEERING ANGLE CHECKM1372001100374
1. Place the front wheel on a turning radius gauge
and measure the steering angle.
Standard value:
2. If the steering angle is not within the standard
value, adjust the toe-in as follows.
Standard value:
at the centre of tyre tread: 1 ± 2 mm
Toe angle (per wheel): 0°03' ± 06'
3. Loosen the lock nut, and unclip the bellows.
4. Adjust the toe-in by turning the left and right tie
rod turnbuckles by the same amount (in opposite
directions).
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.
5. Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque, and
tighten the bellows by the clip.
Tightening torque: 40 ± 5 N⋅m
6. Recheck the steering angle.

2. Pinch the steering column shaft clip with pliers,
and pull up the shaft towards the direction shown
to disengage the steering column shaft assembly.
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT
>>A<< STEERING COLUMN SHAFT
ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
CAUTION
•When reusing the steering column, do not
release the tilt lever until the steering column
shaft has been installed.•When the steering column is replaced, do not
release the tilt lever until it has been installed.
Do not remove the tilt lever fixing band until
the installation has completed.
•When installing the steering column, do not
leave it fixed temporarily at only one point
and make sure the column shaft is not shaken
strongly. If you fail to do, the collision
absorbing mechanism at the column shaft
mounting location may be damaged.
Ensure that the tilt lever is in the lock position, and
install the steering column. Tighten the four bolts in
the order shown by hand, and then tighten them to
the specified torque in the order shown.
Tightening torque: 12 ± 2 N⋅m

end plug.
Specified sealant: 3M ATD Part No.8661,
8663 or equivalent
2. Secure the threaded portion of the end plug at two
places by using a punch.
>>J<< RACK SUPPORT COVER/LOCK
NUT INSTALLATION
1. Position the rack at its centre.
2. Apply specified sealant to the threaded part of the
rack support cover.
Specified sealant:
3M ATD Part No.8661, 8663 or equivalent3. Use the following special tool to tighten the rack
support cover to 23 ± 2 N⋅m.
•MB990607: Torque Wrench Socket
•MB991621: Piston Driver
4. Turn the rack support cover 30° anticlockwise.
5. Use the special tool to hold the rack support
cover, and then tighten the lock nut to 59 ± 10
N⋅m.
>>K<< TOTAL PINION TORQUE
ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION
•Be sure there is no ratcheting or catching
when operating the rack towards the shaft.
•Measure the total pinion torque through the
whole stroke of the rack.
1. Using special tool preload socket (MB991006),
rotate the pinion shaft at the rate of one rotation in
4 to 6 seconds to check the total pinion torque and
the change in torque.
Standard value:
Total pinion torque: 0.8 − 2.1 N⋅m <1300,
1600(Comfort)>
[Change in torque: 0.6 N⋅m or less]
Total pinion torque: 0.7 − 2.1 N⋅m <1600(Sport),
