Hook a spring balance at the point shown in the figure and pull the
spring balance. Make sure that the spring balance reads the speci-
fied value when ball stud and inner socket start to move. Replace
outer socket and inner socket if they are outside the standard.
BALL JOINT ROTATING TORQUE
Make sure that the reading is within the following specified range
using preload gauge (A) (SST: ST3127S000). Replace outer socket
if the reading is outside the specified value.
BALL JOINT AXIAL END PLAY
Apply an axial load of 490 N (50 kg, 110 lb) to ball stud. Using a dial
gauge, measure amount of stud movement, and then make sure that
the value is within the following specified range. Replace outer
socket (1) and inner socket (2) if the measured value is outside the
standard.Standard

RELIEF OIL PRESSURE
CAUTION:
Make sure that belt tension is normal before starting the following procedure.
1. Connect the oil pressure gauge (SST: KV48103500) and the oil
pressure gauge adapter (SST: KV48102500) between oil pump
discharge connector and high-pressure hose. Bleed air from the
hydraulic circuit while opening valve fully. Refer to ST-7,
"Inspection".
2. Start the engine. Run the engine until oil temperature reaches
50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).
CAUTION:
Leave the valve of the oil pressure gauge fully open while
starting and running the engine. If engine is started with
the valve closed, the hydraulic pressure in oil pump goes
up to the relief pressure along with unusual increase of oil
temperature.
Be sure to keep hose clear of belts and other parts when
engine is started.
3. Fully close the oil pressure gauge valve with engine at idle and
measure the relief oil pressure.
CAUTION:
Never keep valve closed for 10 seconds or longer.
4. Open the valve slowly after measuring. Repair oil pump if the relief oil pressure is outside the standard.
Refer to ST-29, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
5. Disconnect the oil pressure gauge from hydraulic circuit.
6. When installing eye bolt (1) and copper washers (2) to oil pump
(3), refer to the figure.
CAUTION:
Never reuse copper washer.
Apply power steering fluid or equivalent to around copper
washer, then install eye bolt.
Install eye bolt with eye joint (assembled to high pressure
hose) (B) protrusion (A) facing with pump side cutout, and
then tighten it to the specified torque after tightening by
hand. Refer to ST-34, "
Exploded View".
Securely insert harness connector to pressure sensor.

Performance of oil pump is low.
AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Body Assembly and Rear Cover Inspection
Check body assembly and rear cover for internal damage. Replace rear cover if it is damaged. Replace oil
pump assembly if body assembly is damaged.
Cartridge Assembly Inspection
Check cam ring, rotor and vane for damage. Replace cartridge assembly if necessary.
Side Plate Inspection
Check side plate for damage. Replace side plate if necessary.
