2.
Mount the self-locking nut on the ball joint, and then measure the ball joint rotating torque.
Tightening torque
0.7~2 Nm (7~20 Kgf·cm, 0.51~1.54 Ibf·ft)
If there is a crack and damage in the dust cover, replace the stabilizer bar link.
Mount the self-locking nut on the ball joint, and then measure the ball joint rotating torque.
Tightening torque
0.7~2 Nm (7~20 Kgf·cm, 0.51~1.54 Ibf·ft)
If the rotating torque is above the upper limit of the standard value, replace the stabilizer link.
If the rotating torque is below the lower limit of the standard value, the ball joint may be reused unless it has drag and excessive play.
