a. Toe-in not adjusted in the straighted ahead position of the steering gear so that the track rod lengths are uneven.
b. Steering knuckle arm, pitman arm, or steering idler arm distorted.
c. Excessive deviations at the front end on vehicles involved in accidents (frame longitudinal member, frame cross member, wheelhouse and
firewall or on the front axle carrier) which have an adverse effect on the range of adjustment for camber an caster so that large differences
in toe-out on turns result between the left and right.

INSPECTION
1. Using holding device (055) tool No. 129 589 01 21 00, or equivalent, fix steering wheel in center position.
2. Check center position of steering gear and steering wheel.
-
The steering gear is in the center position when the marking line on the cap aligns with the marking notch on the rotary slide valve (arrows).
-
Offset the steering wheel by a maximum of one tooth if necessary.
3. Install a suitable wheel spreader (030) on the inside of the wheel in the forwards direction of travel, then remove.
NOTE: The flexible mount of the wishbones results in a correspondingly large toe-in value which reduces to the correct dimension in the
ready-to-drive condition
