SLK 32 AMG (170.466) V6-3.2L SC (112.960) (2003)
Correct the front articulation angle (1) and center articulation angle (2)
Shims in steel or aluminum will need to be fabricated on-site to correct the inclination angle. The dimension for the shims must be taken from the
corresponding part.
Depending on the correction the shim must be installed between the:
^
Rear engine crossmember and frame floor.
^
Rear engine crossmember and rear engine mount.
^
Driveshaft intermediate bearing and frame floor.
A 1 mm thick shim changes the inclination angle by approx. 0.17 degrees.
When using shims > 2 mm thick, increase the bolt length by 5 mm.
If you determine that the shim depth required to obtain the desired correction exceeds 5 mm, proceed to inspect the front and rear engine mounts for
signs of wear and compression, replace as indicated.
Carry out a check measurement again each time the articulation angle is corrected.
