DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION AND PROCEDURES

EXCESSIVE FRICTION CHECK

Ball Joint Inspection

Check excessive friction in the rear suspension as fol-
lows:

1. With the aid of a helper, lift up on the rear bumper

and raise the vehicle as high as possible. Slow
release the bumper and allow the car to assume
normal trim height.

2. Measure the distance from the floor to the center

of the bumper.

3. Push down on the bumper, release slowly, and

allow the car to assume normal trim height.

4. Measure the distance from the floor to the center

of the bumper.

The distance between the two measurements should
be less than 12.7 mm (0.50 inch). If the difference
exceeds this limit, inspect the control arms for damage
or wear.
