FRONT SUSPENSION 3D-5
FRONT SUSPENSION FASTENERS CHECK
Check each bolt and nut fastening suspension parts for tightness.
Tighten loose one, if any, to specified torque, referring to “GEN-
ERAL DESCRIPTION” in this section.
WHEEL DISC, NUT AND BEARING CHECK
Inspect each wheel disc for dents, distortion and cracks.
A disc in badly damaged condition must be replaced.
Check wheel nuts for tightness and, as necessary, retighten
them to specification.
Tightening torque
Wheel nut (a) : 85 N·m (8.5 kg-m, 61.5 lb-ft)
Check wheel bearing for wear. When measuring thrust play,
apply a dial gauge to wheel hub.
Thrust play limit
: 0.1 mm (0.004 in.)
By rotating wheel actually, check wheel bearing for noise
and smooth rotation.
If defective, replace bearing.
