Inspection

INFOID:0000000009177073

BOOT

Check boot for cracks. Replace if any damage is found.

OUTER SOCKET AND INNER SOCKET

• Ball joint swinging torque

- Hook a spring balance to the ball stud and inner socket measuring

point (*) and pull the spring balance. Make sure that the spring bal-

ance reads the specified value when ball stud and inner socket

start to move. Replace outer socket and inner socket if they are

outside the specification.

• Ball joint rotating torque

- Make sure that the reading is within the following specified range

using Tool. Replace outer socket if the reading is outside the spec-

ification.

• Ball joint axial end play

- Apply an axial load of 490 N (50 kg, 111 lb) to ball stud. Measuring

the amount of stud movement using a dial gauge, make sure that

the value is within specification. Replace outer socket and inner

socket if the measured value is outside specification.
