INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Visual Inspection
Check transverse link and bushing for deformation, cracks or damage. Replace it if a malfunction is
detected.
Check 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 cotter pin mounting hole. Confirm
spring balance measurement value is within specifications when
ball stud begins moving.
If it is outside the specified range, replace transverse link
assembly.Swing torque
: 0.5 - 3.6 N·m (0.06 - 0.36 kg-m, 5 - 31 in-lb)
Spring balance measurement
: 7.8 - 56.3 N (0.8 - 5.7 kg, 1.8 - 12.5 lb)
