SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS
LOWER ARM BALL JOINT ROTATION STARTING TORQUE
Required Special Tool
- MB991006: Preload socket
Scheme 2
- Move the lower arm ball joint stud back and forth for several times, and measure the lower arm ball joint rotation starting torque using special tool MB991006. Standard value: 2.2 - 4.1 N.m (19 - 36 in-lb)
- If the measured value exceeds the standard range, replace the lower arm assembly (Refer to «LOWER ARM»(ref-592624-S39915576402014011000000) ).
- Even if the measured value is within the standard range, check the lower arm ball joint that there is no looseness or gritty feeling. If there is no looseness or gritty feeling, it is judged as usable.
STABILIZER LINK BALL JOINT TURNING TORQUE CHECK
Required Special Tool
- MB990326: Preload socket
Scheme 3
- Move the stabilizer link ball joint stud back and forth for several times, install the stud with nut, and measure the stabilizer link ball joint rotation starting torque using special tool MB990326. Standard value: 0.5 - 2.9 N.m (4.4 - 25.7 in-lb)
- When the measured value exceeds the standard value, replace the stabilizer link (Refer to «STABILIZER BAR»(ref-592624-S29304424962014011000000) ).
- If the measured value stays within the standard range, and there is looseness or gritty feeling, the component is judged as unusable and should be replaced.
