Inspection


SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY

- Check for smooth operation through a full stroke for both compression and extension.
- Check for oil leakage on the welded or gland packing portions.
- Check the shock absorber piston rod for cracks, deformation, or other damage and replace if necessary.

SUSPENSION ARM

- Check the suspension arm for damage, cracks, deformation and replace if necessary.
- Check the rubber bushings for damage, cracks and deformation. Replace suspension arm if necessary.





- Check the ball joint. Replace the suspension arm assembly if any of the following conditions exist:
- Ball stud is worn.
- Joint is hard to swing.
- Check if the swinging force (A), rotating torque (B), or vertical end play (C) is out of specification using Tools.

Tool number: ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)
: - (J-44372)

NOTE:
Before checking specifications, turn the ball joint at least 10 revolutions so the ball joint is properly broken in.
Swinging force (A): Rear Axle.
Rotating torque (B): Rear Axle.
Vertical end play (C): Rear Axle.

RADIUS ROD

- Check the radius rod for any deformation, cracks, or damage and replace if necessary.
- After installing the radius rod, check the wheel alignment and adjust if necessary. Rear Wheel Alignment (Unladen).

FRONT LOWER LINK

- Check the front lower link for any deformation, cracks, or damage and replace if necessary.

UPPER AND LOWER RUBBER SEATS

- Check the upper and lower rubber seats for deterioration, or cracks and replace if necessary.

REAR LOWER LINK AND COIL SPRING

- Check the rear lower link and coil spring for any deformation, cracks, or other damage and replace if necessary.

STABILIZER BAR

- Check the stabilizer bar and clamps for any deformation, cracks, or damage and replace if necessary.
- Check the rubber bushings for deterioration, or cracks and replace if necessary.
