87mercedes02

TO: OUR MERCEDES-BENZ PASSENGER CAR DEALERS

DATE: January 1987 REF. NO. 40/67, 58/52


SUBJECT: MODIFYING CASTER GAUGE MODEL 126


Due to a modification of the front wheel brake cover plate, the caster gauge 116 589 22 21 00 can no longer be fitted properly. The contact surface of the alignment pin must be enlarged. For this purpose two aluminum bushings 926 589 00 63 00 must be pressed onto either side of the pin.


The modified caster gauge can also be used for caster measurements on models 116 and 123.

Only this modified version caster gauge will be supplied in the future. The tool number remains unchanged.
