Ball joint boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease leakage. Replace it if a malfunction is
detected.
Ball Joint Inspection
Manually move ball stud to confirm it moves smoothly with no binding.
Swing Torque Inspection
NOTE:
Before measurement, move ball stud at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.

Hook a spring balance at cutout on ball stud. Confirm spring bal-
ance measurement value is within specifications when ball stud
begins moving.

If it is outside the specified range, replace upper link assembly.
Rotating Torque Inspection

Attach mounting nut to ball stud. Make sure that rotating torque
is within specifications with a preload gauge [SST].

If it is outside the specified range, replace upper link assembly.
Axial End Play Inspection

Move tip of ball stud in axial direction to check for looseness.

If it is outside the specified range, replace upper link assembly.
INSTALLATION

Installation is the reverse order of removal. For tightening torque, refer to FSU-26, "Components" .

Perform final tightening of bolts and nuts at the vehicle installation position (rubber bushing) under
unladen conditions with tires on level ground. Check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-24, "
Wheel Align-
ment Inspection" . Swing torque
