HICLE
(a) Remove the front wheel and install the hub nuts to the
disc.
(b) Using a dial indicator, check the lower ball joint for exces-
sive play when you push the hub nuts up and down with
a force of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lbf).
Maximum: 0.5 mm (0.020 in.)

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT LOWER BALL JOINT BOOT FOR DAMAGE
2. INSPECT LOWER BALL JOINT FOR ROTATION
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 1 turn
per 3 to 5 seconds and take the torque reading on the 5th
turn.
Turning torque:
1.0 ± 6.5 N´m (10 ± 66 kgf´cm, 9 ± 56 in.´lbf)

INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL LOWER BALL JOINT
(a) While lifting the upper suspension arm and steering knuckle, install the lower ball joint.
(b) Temporarily install the 4 bolts to the lower ball joint.
(c) Install the set nut to hold the lower ball joint to the lower suspension arm and a new cotter pin.
Torque: 159 N´m (1,621 kgf´cm, 117 ft´lbf)
If the holes for the cotter pin are not aligned, tighten the nut further up to 60°.
2. CONNECT TIE ROD END
Connect the tie rod end to the lower ball joint with the nut and a new cotter pin.
Torque: 91 N´m (930 kgf´cm, 67 ft´lbf)
If the holes for the cotter pin are not aligned, tighten the nut further up to 60°.
3. TIGHTEN LOWER BALL JOINT SET 4 BOLTS
Torque: 65 N´m (663 kgf´cm, 48 ft´lbf)
4. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL
Torque: 110 N´m (1,150 kgf´cm, 83 ft´lbf)
5. CHECK FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT (See page SA±4)
6. PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION OF STEERING ANGLE, MASTER CYLINDER PRES-
SURE, YAW RATE AND DECELERATION SENSORS (See page DI±897)
