install the nut to the stud and use special tool
preload socket (MB990326) to measure the
turning torque of the ball joint.
Standard value: 0.5 − 1.5 N⋅m
2. If the measured value exceeds the standard
value, replace the stabilizer link.
3. If the measured value is lower than the standard
value, check that the ball joint turns smoothly

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.
