Stabilizer Link Ball Joint Turning Torque Check

STABILIZER LINK BALL JOINT TURNING TORQUE CHECK





1. 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 the special tool preload socket (MB990326).

Standard value: 0.5-2.9 Nm (4.4-26 in-lb)

2. When the measured value exceeds the standard value, replace the stabilizer link.
3. 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.
