Ball Joint

Front
Standard value 2.0 - 3.5 Nm (20 - 35 kgf-cm, 1.48 - 2.58 ft. lbs.)

Check the lower arm ball joint for rotating torque.
- If there is a crack in the dust cover, replace the ball joint assembly.
- Shake the ball joint stud several times.
- Measure the ball joint rotating torque.
- If the rotating torque is above the upper limit of the standard value, replace the ball joint assembly.
- Even 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.
