- Place the vehicle on a level, horizontal surface and measure the rear wheel alignment angles.
- Before measuring, the elements and parts of the rear wheel suspension must be brought to normal technical condition.
Convergence
- If the toe-in value is not within the nominal value, adjust it as follows:
- Before adjusting the toe, adjust the camber.
- Adjust the rear wheel alignment by turning the adjusting bolt (the mounting bolt on the inside of the suspension adjusting arm) (Fig. 14.48).

Left side: turning the bolt clockwise increases the toe-in.
Right side: turning the bolt clockwise will decrease the toe-in.
One division of the scale corresponds to a movement of approximately 2.6 mm, which is equivalent to a toe angle of one wheel of 0°16'.
Collapse
Camber: - 0°40' ±30'
The difference between the left and right wheels: no more than 30'
Note: On vehicles with aluminum wheels, measure the camber on each wheel using the special tool MB991004, tightening it to a torque of 180 N·m.
- If the rear wheel camber is not within the specified value, adjust it as follows.
- Disconnect the adjuster arm from the rear suspension trailing arm.
- Adjust the camber by turning the adjusting bolt (the bolt that secures the lower arm to the rear cross member) (Fig. 14.49).

Left wheel: turning clockwise increases camber.
Right wheel: turning clockwise decreases camber.
One division of the scale is approximately equal to 0°14'
- Tighten the bolts securing the adjusting lever to the trailing arm to a torque of 34 Nm (Fig. 14.50).
