INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT
(a) Inspect the turning torque of the ball joint. (1) Secure the front lower ball joint in a vise using aluminum plates. (2) Install the nut to the front lower ball joint stud. (3) Using a torque wrench, turn the nut continuously at a rate of 3 to 5 seconds per turn and take the torque reading on the 5th turn. Turning torque: 0.7 to 4.5 N*m (7 to 46 kgf*cm, 6.2 to 40 in.*lbf) If the turning torque is not within the specified range, replace the front lower ball joint with a new one. |
