ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND 
ADJUSTMENT

M1341011000349

Measure wheel alignment with an alignment 
equipment on level earth.
The rear suspension, wheels, and tyres should be 
serviced to the normal condition prior to wheel 
alignment measurement.
CAMBER

Standard value: -0

°

 40' 

±

 30' (Left/right 

deviation within 30') 

NOTE:  Camber is preset at the factory and cannot 
be adjusted.

CAUTION

Never subject the wheel bearings to the vehicle 
load when the trailing arm spindle self-locking 
nuts (2WD), the driveshaft nuts (4WD), or the 
special tool wheel alignment gauge attachment 
(MB991004 or MB991014) are loosened.
NOTE: 

For 2WD-vehicles with aluminium wheels, attach the 
camber/caster/kingpin gauge to the trailing arm 
spindle by using special tool wheel alignment gauge 
attachment (MB991014). Tighten the special tool to 
the same torque 175 

±

 25 N

⋅

m as the trailing arm 

spindle self-locking nut.

NOTE: 

For 4WD-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.

TOE-IN

Standard value:

At the centre of tyre tread: 3 

±

 2 mm

Toe angle (per wheel): 0

°

08' 

±

 05'

If toe-in is not within the standard value, adjust by 
following procedures.

CAUTION

To prevent bushings from breakage, the toe 
adjusting bolt should be temporarily tightened, 
and then fully tightened with the vehicle on the 
ground in the unladen condition.

Carry out adjustment by turning the toe adjusting bolt 
(control link mounting bolt which is located on the 
inner side of the body).
NOTE:
