INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Visual Inspection

Check the following:

●

Upper link and bushing for deformation, cracks or damage. Replace it if a malfunction is detected.

●

Ball joint boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease leakage. Replace it if a malfunction is
detected.

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 ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.

●

Hook a spring balance at cutout on ball stud. Confirm spring bal-
ance measurement value is within specifications when ball stud
begins moving.

●

If it is outside the specified range, replace upper link assembly.

Rotating Torque Inspection

●

Attach mounting nut to ball stud. Make sure that rotating torque
is within specifications with a preload gauge [SST].

●

If it is outside the specified range, replace upper link assembly.

Axial End Play Inspection

●

Move tip of ball stud in axial direction to check for looseness.

●

If it is outside the specified range, replace upper link assembly.
