Ball Joint

Measure the ball joint rotating torque.
Standard value 2 - 3.5 Nm (20 - 35 kgs-cm, 1.4 - 2.5 ft. lbs.)
- If the rotating torque is exceeds the limit of the standard value, replace the ball joint assembly.
- Even 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.

- NOTE: Measure torque using the special tool (09532-11600) and torque wrench(B) at the range of 0.5 - 2 rpm after moving the ball joint stud (A) 3° several times at room temperature.
