INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT REAR STABILIZER LINK ASSEMBLY

(a) Move the ball joint stud back and forth 5 times before installing the nut as shown in the illustration.

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

Turning torque:

1.0 N*m (10 kgf*cm, 9 in.*lbf) or less

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

(c) Check for any cracks and grease leaks on the ball joint dust cover.

(d) Check that neither unusual drag nor rattle occurs during rotation.
