Standard value: 0.5 - 3.4 Nm (4.4 - 30.1 inch lbs.)
2. When the measured value exceeds the standard value, replace the lower arm assembly.
3. When the measured value is lower than the standard value, check that the lower arm ball joint turns smoothly without excessive play. If there is no excessive play, the ball joint can be reused.
