INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
TRANSVERSE LINK
-
Transverse link for deformation, cracks or damage.
-
Bushing for complete separation. (If completely separated, inner metal can be pulled out from transverse link.)
-
Bushing for leakage.
-
Ball joint boot for cracks or other damage, and also for grease leakage.
Swinging Torque Inspection
-
Move ball joint at least ten times by hand to check for smooth movement.
-
Hook Tool (A) on ball joint at pinch bolt location. Confirm measurement value is within specifications when ball joint begins moving.
