Rear axle
Rear axle: Measure from wheel contact surface to the locating bore in the rear-axle side section (between toe and camber eccentrics).
The vehicle height on the front and rear axle is adjusted by turning the adjusting nut -No. 2- . The lock nut -No. 1- must first be loosened. Use a hook wrench or special tool 9647 (hook wrench insert) for this purpose. See Figure and Figure.
Adjusting nut -No. 2- turn to the right = vehicle higher- turn to the left = vehicle lower. See Figure and Figure.
After adjustment of the lock nut(s) -No. 1- on the front and rear axle, tighten with special tool 9647 in conjunction with a torque wrench. Tightening torque -No. 1- = 50 Nm (37 ft.lb). See Figure and Figure.
If the vehicle is measured front and rear, check and adjust the rear axle first. After adjustment, tighten the appropriate screwed connections with the prescribed tightening torque. See TIGHTENING TORQUES FOR FRONT AXLE and TIGHTENING TORQUES FOR REAR AXLE .
