REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle with a power tool.
2. Remove undercover with a power tool.
3. Remove the mounting nut on the upper side of stabilizer connecting rod with a power tool, and then
remove stabilizer connecting rod from transverse link.
4. Remove the mounting nut and bolt on the lower side of shock absorber arm with a power tool, and then
remove shock absorber arm from transverse link.
5. Remove front cross bar. Refer to FSU-26, "
Components" .
6. Remove transverse link from steering knuckle. Refer to FAX-5, "
Removal and Installation" .
7. Remove mounting nuts and bolts, and then remove transverse link from vehicle.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Visual Inspection
Check the following:
Transverse link and bushing for deformation, cracks or damage. Replace it if a malfunction is detected.
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.
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 transverse 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 transverse link assembly.Swing torque

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 front suspension member installation position and the
shock absorber lower side (rubber bushing) under unladen conditions with tires on level ground. Check
wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-24, "
Wheel Alignment Inspection" .
Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor after checking wheel alignment. Refer to BRC-6, "Adjust-
ment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
