Component" .
• Perform final tightening of each of parts (rubber bushing), under unladen conditions, which were removed
when removing front suspension assembly. Check wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-2, "
Precaution for Sup-
plemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER"" .
• Check wheel sensor harness for proper connection. Refer to BRC-32

TRANSVERSE LINK
TRANSVERSE LINK
Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001703727
REMOVAL
1. Remove front tires using power tool.
2. Remove transverse link ball joint nut and bolt. Then, remove transverse link from steering knuckle.
3. Remove transverse link nuts and bolts, then remove transverse
link from front suspension member.
NOTE:
When removing LH transverse link it may be necessay to lower
the suspension member in order to remove bolts to avoid con-
tact with the transaxle.
a. Set jack under front suspension member.
b. Loosen RH upper link bolts, LH upper link bolt (front suspension
member side), front suspension member bolts (left/right). Lower
the front suspension member in order to remove transverse link
bolts.
4. Remove transverse link.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Visual Inspection
Check the following:
• Transverse link and bushing for deformation, cracks or damage. Replace it if necessary.
• Ball joint boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease leakage. Replace it if necessary.
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 the cutout on ball stud. Confirm spring
balance measurement value is within specifications when ball stud
begins moving.
• If it is outside the specified range, replace transverse link assem-
bly.
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.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• For tightening torque, refer to FSU-9, "
Component" .
• Perform final tightening of bolts and at the front suspension member installation position (rubber bushing)
under unladen conditions with tires on level ground. Check wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-2, "

2. Stop engine.
3. Drain A/T fluid by removing the drain plug. Reinstall the drain plug to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
4. Refill the transaxle with new specified A/T fluid through the A/T fluid charging pipe. Always refill the tran-
saxle with the same volume of A/T fluid that was drained out.
5. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
6. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-22, "
Checking A/T Fluid" .
Balancing WheelsINFOID:0000000001704749

RotationINFOID:0000000001704750
• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.
Refer to MA-6
.
• Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating tires.
CAUTION:
• When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
• Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the
specification to prevent damage of disc rotor.
Checking Brake Fluid Level and LeaksINFOID:0000000001704751
• If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.Drain plug: Refer to AT-230, "
Component" .
