      Inspect the turning torque of the ball joint.


      1. Secure the front stabilizer link assembly in a vise using aluminum plates.

      2. Install the nut to the front stabilizer link assembly stud.

      3. Using a torque wrench, turn the nut continuously at a rate of 2 to 4 seconds per turn and take the torque reading on the 5th turn.

        Torque:
        Turning Torque
        0.05 to 1.96 N*m  { 0.5 to 20 kgf*cm, 1 to 17 in.*lbf }

        If the turning torque is not within the specified range, replace the front stabilizer link assembly with a new one.

    2. Inspect the dust cover.


      1. Check that the dust cover is not cracked and that there is no grease on it.
