INSPECTION
INSPECT STABILIZER BAR LINK BALL JOINT FOR ROTA-
TION CONDITION
(a) As shown in the illustration, flip the ball joint stud back and
forth 5 times, before installing the nut.
(b) Using a torque wrench, turn the nut continuously at a rate
of 2 - 4 seconds per 1 turn and take the torque reading
on the 5th turn.
Turning torque:
0.05 - 1.0 N´m (0.5 - 10 kgf´cm, 0.4 - 8.7 in.´lbf)

If the ball joint turns together with the nut, use a hexagon (5 mm)
wrench to hold the stud.
Torque: 39 N´m (400 kgf´cm, 29 ft´lbf)
(b) Employ the same manner described above to the other
side.
3. REMOVE BRACKETS AND BUSHINGS
(a) Remove the 2 bolts, bracket and bushing.
Torque: 19 N´m (195 kgf´cm, 14 ft´lbf)

REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT
INSPECTION
1. MEASURE VEHICLE HEIGHT (See page SA-4)
2. INSTALL CAMBER-CASTER-KINGPIN GAUGE OR
POSITION VEHICLE ON WHEEL ALIGNMENT TES-
TER
Follow the specific instructions of the equipment manufacturer.
3. INSPECT CAMBER
Camber:
Camber
Right-left error-0°43' ± 45' (-0.72° ± 0.75°)
45' (0.75°) or less
If the measured value is not within the specified value, inspect
the suspension parts for damage and/or wear and replace them
if necessary because camber is not adjustable.
4. INSPECT TOE-IN
Toe-in:
Toe-in
(total)A + B: 0°24' ± 12' (0.4° ± 0.2°)
C - D: 4 ± 2 mm (0.16 ± 0.08 in.)
If the toe-in is not within the specified value, adjust it at the
No. 2 lower suspension arm.
5. ADJUST TOE-IN
(a) Measure the lengths of the right and left No. 2 lower sus-
pension arms.
No. 2 lower suspension arm length difference:
1 mm (0.04 in.) or less
If the right-left difference is greater than the specified value, ad-
just the length.
(b) Loosen the lock nuts.
(c) Turn the right and left adjusting tube by an equal amount
to adjust toe-in.
HINT:
Try to adjust the toe-in to the center value.
One turn of the each adjusting tube will adjust the toe-in
by about 36' (0.6°, 6.7 mm, 0.264 in.).
(d) Torque the lock nuts.
Torque: 56 N´m (570 kgf´cm, 41 ft´lbf)
