INSPECT FRONT STABILIZER LINK ASSEMBLY
Inspect the turning torque of the ball joint.
Secure the front stabilizer link assembly in a vise using aluminum plates.
Install the nut to the front stabilizer link assembly stud.
Using a torque wrench, turn the nut continuously at a rate of 3 to 5 seconds per turn and take the torque reading on the 5th turn.
Turning torque |
---|
0.05 to 1.96 N*m (0.5 to 20 kgf*cm, 0.4 to 17 in.*lbf) |
If the turning torque is not within the specified range, replace the front stabilizer link assembly with a new one.
Inspect the dust cover.
Check that the dust cover is not cracked and that there is no grease on it.
