      Secure the toe control link sub-assembly between aluminum plates in a vise.

      Note

      Do not overtighten the vise.

    2. Temporarily install the nut, and flip the ball joint stud back and forth 5 times as shown in the illustration.

    3. Use a torque wrench to turn the nut continuously at a rate of 3 to 5 seconds per turn. Take the torque reading on the 5th turn.

      Torque:
      Turning torque
      0.9 to 3.5 N*m  { 9.2 to 35 kgf*cm, 7.9 to 30 in.*lbf }

      If the reading is not within the specified range, replace the toe control link sub-assembly with a new one.

    4. Check the dust boot for cracks or grease leaks.
