TOE-IN

Standard value: 3 

± 2 mm (0.12 ± 0.08 inch)

If it is out of the standard range, adjust as follows:
Turn the toe adjusting bolt (the mounting bolt inside the body 
on the control link) to adjust.

Left wheels: Clockwise 

→ (+) Toe in

Right wheels: Clockwise 

→ (-) Toe in

Toe-in varies approximately 2.6 mm (0.10inch) (equivalent to 
0

°16' of the toe angle for one side) for each scale mark.

CAMBER

Standard value: 

−0°25' ±0°30' (difference between right 

and left within 0

°30')

NOTE: 

.

• For FWD vehicles with aluminum wheels, attach the cam-

ber/caster/kingpin gauge by using a compensator.

• For AWD vehicles with aluminum wheels, tighten the wheel 

alignment gauge attachment (Special tool: MB991004) to 
the specified torque, then measure the camber.

•

The camber is pre-adjusted at factory and is not adjustable.
