Steering gear

• Check steering gear for damage and scratches to the inner wall. Replace if there are any abnormal condi-

tions.

Outer Socket and Inner Socket

Check the following items and replace the component if outside specification:

BALL JOINT SWINGING FORCE

• Hook a Tool at the point shown and pull the spring balance. Make

sure that the Tool reads the specified value when ball stud and

inner socket start to move. Replace outer socket (1) and inner

socket (2) if they are outside the standard.

BALL JOINT AXIAL END PLAY

• Apply an axial load of 490 N (50 kg-f, 110 lb-f) to ball stud. Using a

dial gauge, measure amount of stud movement and make sure

that the value is within the following specified range. Replace outer

socket (1) and inner socket (2) if the measured value is outside the

standard.
