INSPECT TOE CONTROL LINK

Secure the rear upper No. 2 control arm in a vise between aluminum plates.

• NOTICE:

• Do not overtighten the vise.

Temporarily install the nut, and flip the ball joint stud back and forth 5 times as shown in the illustration.

Use a torque wrench to turn the nut continuously at a rate of 3 to 5 seconds per turn. Take the torque reading on the 5th turn.

• Turning torque:
• 0.9 to 3.5 N*m (9.17 to 35.7 kgf*cm, 0.6 to 2.5 ft.*lbf) or less

If the value is not within the specified range, replace the rear suspension toe control link with a new one.

Check the dust boot for cracks or grease leakage.
