Alignment: Service and Repair
Front

FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT 

Required Special Tool:

MB991004: Wheel Alignment Gauge Attachment

Measure wheel alignment with alignment equipment on a level surface.
The front suspension, steering system, and wheels should be serviced to normal condition prior to measurement of wheel alignment.

Toe-In 

Standard value: 0 ± 3 mm (0 ± 0.12 inch) 

NOTE:  If the toe-in is not within the standard value, adjust the toe-in by undoing the clips and 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.
For each one turn of the left and right tie rods, the toe-in will be adjusted by approximately 1°05' (per wheel).

STEERING ANGLE 

CAMBER AND CASTER 

Standard value:
Camber 0°00' ± 30' (Left/right deviation within 30')
Caster 3°00' ± 30' (Left/right deviation within 30')
 

NOTE:  Caster is 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 aluminum type wheels, attach the camber/caster/kingpin gauge to the driveshaft by using special tool MB991004. Tighten
special tool MB991004 to the same torque 196 - 255 Nm (145 - 188 ft. lbs.) as the driveshaft nut.
