TORQUE CHECK

M1341019300043

1. Move the stabilizer link ball joint stud back and forth for 

several times, install the stud with nut, and measure the 
stabilizer link ball joint rotation torque using the preload 
socket (Special tool: MB990326).

Standard value: 0.5 

− 2.9 N⋅m (4.4 − 25.7 in-lb)

2. When the measured value exceeds the standard range, 

replace the stabilizer link.

3. When the measured value is lower than the standard value, 

check the stabilizer link ball joint that there is no looseness 
or gritty feeling. If there is no looseness or gritty feeling, it is 
judged as usable.
