Tightening torque for "Major areas involving basic vehicle performance such as moving/turning/stopping": N*m (kgf*cm, ft.*lbf)

-

-

(a) Inspect the turning torque of the ball joint.

(1) Secure the front stabilizer link assembly in a vise using aluminum plates.

NOTICE:

Do not overtighten the vise.

(2) Install the nut to the front stabilizer link assembly stud.

(3) Using a torque wrench, turn the stud continuously at a rate of 3 to 5 seconds per turn and take the torque reading on the 5th turn.

Turning Torque:

0.05 to 1.96 N*m (0.6 to 19 kgf*cm, 0.5 to 17 in.*lbf)

HINT:

If the turning torque is not within the specified range, replace the front stabilizer link assembly with a new one.

(4) Turn the stud to check that the stud does not catch and there is no play.

HINT:

If the stud catches or there is play while turning, replace the front stabilizer link assembly with a new one.
