To check the steering linkage, especially after the vehicle
has been involved in an accident or if an accident is
presumed, it is advisable to check the toe-out angle on turns
in addition to the wheel alignment.
Conduct this test on the left turn as well as on the right turn.

special tool wheel alignment gauge attachment
(MB991004).
Tighten the special tool to the same torque 245
±

To prevent the wheel bearing from damage, never
subject the wheel bearings to the vehicle load when the
driveshaft nuts are loosened.
