A. | If there is a crack in the dust cover, replace it and add grease.
B. | Shake the stabilizer link ball joint stud several times.
C. | Mount the self-locking nut on the ball joint, and then measure the ball joint rotating torque.
Standard value 0.7~2 Nm (7~20 kgf•cm, 0.52~1.48 lbf•ft)
D. | If the rotating torque is higher than the upper limit of the standard value, replace the stabilizer link.
E. | 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.
