INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Ball Joint Inspection
Manually move ball stud to confirm it moves smoothly with no binding.
Swing Torque Inspection
1. Move ball stud at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.
2. Hook a spring balance (A) at pinch bolt location. Confirm spring balance measurement value is within specifications when ball
stud begins moving.
- If swing torque exceeds standard range, replace transverse link.
Axial End Play Inspection
1. Move ball stud at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.
2. Move tip of ball stud in axial direction to check for looseness.
