INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Wheel Hub and Knuckle Inspection
Check for any deformity, cracks, or other damage on t he wheel hub assembly and knuckle, replace if neces-
sary.
CAUTION:
The wheel hub assembly does not require maintenance. If any of the following symptoms are noted,
replace the wheel hub assembly.
• Growling noise is emitted from the wheel hub bearing during operation.
• Wheel hub bearing drags or turns roughly.
Ball Joint Inspection
Check boots of transverse link and steering outer socket ball joint for breakage, axial play, and torque. Refer to
FSU-15, " Removal and Installation " transverse link and
PS-13, " Disassembly and Assembly " steering outer
socket ball joint.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal. Note the following:
• Perform the final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing
wheel hub and bearing assembly and steering knuckl e. Check the wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-7, " Wheel
Alignment Inspection " .
• When installing disc rotor on wheel hub and bearing assembly,
align the marks.
(When not using the alignment mark, refer to BR-29, " Disassembly
and Assembly of Brake Caliper Assembly " .) WDIA0367E

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 t en 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-10, " 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 FSU-7, " Wheel Align-
ment Inspection " .
