After installation, if neccessary, adjust the alignment of the steering wheel and front tires
INSPECTION
1.Check the bushing for wear and deterioration.
2. Check the stabilizer bar for bending or breakage.
3. Check the ball joint for rotating torque.
(1) If there is a crack in the dust cover, replace it and add grease.
(2) Move the stabilizer link ball joint stud several times in a circular motion.
(3) Mount the self - locking nut on the ball joint, and then measure the ball joint rotating torque.
Standard value :
0.5 ~ 2.5 Nm (5 ~ 25 kgf., 0.36 ~ 1.81 lb - ft)
Measure torque using the special tool(09532- 11600) and torque wrench at the range of 0.5 - 2 rpm after
moving the ball joint stud 10 times at room temperature.
(4)If the rotating torque exceeds the upper limit of standard value, replace the upper arm assembly.
(5) Even if the rotating torque is below the lower limit of the standard value, the ball joint may be reused unless it
has drag and excessive play.
