INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check for deformity, cracks and damage on each parts, replace if necessary.
Ball Joint Inspection
Check for boot breakage, axial looseness, and torque of transverse link and steering outer socket ball
joint. Refer to FSU-14, "
TRANSVERSE LINK" , PS-19, "POWER STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE" .
INSTALLATION
Refer to FAX-4, "Removal and Installation" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts.
After removing/installing or replacing axle components, check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-6, "Wheel
Alignment Inspection" .
After adjusting wheel alignment, adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-6, "Adjust-
ment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
