Rear Stabilizer Bar

INSPECTION

Check the stabilizer link ball joint(A) for rotating torque.




1. If there is a crack in the dust cover, replace it and add grease.
2. Shake the stabilizer link ball joint stud several times.
3. Mount the self-locking nut on the ball joint, and then measure the ball joint rotating torque.

Standard value
1.7 - 3.2 Nm (17 - 32 kgf-cm, 1.25 - 2.36 lbf-ft)


4. If the rotating torque is above the upper limit of the standard value, replace the stabilizer link.
5. 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.
